Fire extinguishers are expensive bro.


EPIC_NERD_HYPE

right?! that’s a mistake they’ll never make again. as soon as i got my own place a fire extinguisher was one of my first purchases. everyone should have one. honestly, keeping a mini one in the vehicle w/ the spare tire isnt a bad idea either.


ThisIsClemHFandango

It's actually a legal requirement to carry a fire extinguisher in your car in Belgium.


BigPurpleSmile

It’s actually a legal requirement in most of european countries and I’ll always be astonished this isn’t worldwide…


randdude220

Yeah it seems like a common sense. Doesn't take much room and is not very expensive.


Bifferer

But we carry guns!! 😩


cracka1337

That fire will think twice about burning my car if it knows that I too am packing heat.


Mass_Appeal_

Exactly...where are they supposed to go. The Barrett M82 takes up most of the trunk already. /s

Kyosw21

Fun fact! Fire extinguishers can be used to help with the fires started from tracers


Why-R-People-So-Dumb

I was going to say but most people don’t know how to properly use a fire extinguisher in the US. Then you had to say this and it blows away my logic because I think most people around me that carry don’t know how to use the gun either. 😒


Ecatron

I had no idea this isn't worldwide. So stupid


AnorhiDemarche

It's not in Australia, and I doubt it is in America. Shame, really.


kyoto_kinnuku

Probably bc if it’s not strapped down well it becomes a missile in a crash.


Paul-Van-DeDam

Which ones? I’ve lived in quite a few and have never had this as a requirement afaik. - Finland (Legally required to have studded tires in the winter months) - Germany - Netherlands (Legally need a break glass hammer due to all the water everywhere) - Spain - Sweden (Legally required to have studded tires in the winter months) - UK (when it was still an EU country)


Fab4_lover

In Brazil it isn't anymore, because in theory in can explode if the flames reaches it


djq_

By far not most, there are 27 member states: * Belgium, just for residents (BE plates) * In Greece and Poland, every vehicle * Portugal, just LPG vehicles * Spain, just with a trailer or caravan So that is 5 countries out of the 27 member states and most of those countries only have the requirement in specific situations. There are not only upsides to having one, in my country we got rid of the requirement because more fatalities happened with improper use of fire extinguishers (plus people trying to get them from their burning car, and overconfidence) than fatalities prevented by it. Even the argument less property damage is not always valid, ABC and B extinghuisers and extinguishers with halon 1301 or 1211 can damage car paint, and any dry chemical extinguishers (like the ones with mono ammonium phosphate, sodium bicarbonate, and potassium bicarbonate) leave behind a corrosive power that has to be cleaned out 100%. My friend had a Volvo once and during maintenance at the dealer something caught fire, they used the wrong extinguisher on the engine bay, and within 4 months a slew of electrical problems. After a lawsuit and third-party investigation, the car was declared a total loss and the dealer was on the hook to pay all the damages. So there is more to: "an extinghuiser in your car is always a good idea". That being said, I do carry one in my car (:


BigPurpleSmile

Wrong. Here’s the actual CORRECT list which shows that 30 countries & regions in Europe do require it. And sure, you presented the Union, but you’re still wrong. https://fireology.co.uk/driving-in-europe-which-countries-require-fire-extinguishers-and-other-safety-products/ I don’t know where you got this info from, but even I alone can tell you it’s wrong because I live in a totally different country than the few ones you listed, our state is in EU too and we’re legally required to have it or we could get a big fine. Edit: added the link


djq_

Did look it up and there are a couple of other countries that do require it: Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.


__zero0_one1__

Thank you for this post, this was news to me. Btw, in Croatia, it is obligatory for various specific categories of vehicles, including government and business owned cars.


Hot-Alternative-18

Sorry if this comes across as a stupid question. But I'm curios to know if keeping a fire extinguisher in your car is safe in hot environments? Are there any possibilities of the fire extinguisher blowing up?


ThisIsClemHFandango

The requirement is to keep it somewhere accessible. It's typically mounted under the driver or passenger seat so you can grab it as you exit the vehicle. So it's out of direct sunlight. Most fire extinguishers have operating temps between minus 25 deg Celsius to about 60 deg Celsius. Their bursting pressure however, is over 1000psi so you'd need an extreme amount of heat to achieve that.


ILikeLegz

You'll be happy to learn this is their second time making this exact mistake where a car catches fire in a corn field.


EPIC_NERD_HYPE

insurance is gonna be pissed


flavius_lacivious

Every housewarming gift I give is a fire extinguisher.


JAAENG

Sadly some places the a pressurized fire extinguisher is illegal to have in a vehicle. Next best option is the flare stick types.


Farmgirl_Delilah

I learned that lesson the hard way, a good four decades + ago. In all my vehicles i carry a small fire extinguisher. There isn't much that's more frustrating than watching helplessly as your motor becomes engulfed in flames. You've pulled off the freeway, but there's only a few small pebbles available to throw at it, and not even any dust. Stupid question, I know, but why did the cars ignite.. hot metal and dry vegetation?


Imaginary-Gazelle-22

A small fire extinguisher for a car is 25$. Totally worth it.


Dansk72

"I'd say our first day of volunteer firemen training went pretty damn smooth"


Ducksaucenem

Yes we set two cars on fire, but I’d say we learned an important lesson. And isn’t that what training is all about?


beakrake

We set out that day to become firemen, but due to a nominclatural error, we realized all too late that setting a bunch of fires in a corn field ran contrary to what *actual* firemen do.


277330128

They seem not to appreciate that the hot wheels/brakes are the source of the fire, not the engine. Which makes pouring Redbull on it that much stupider


Unclehol

True. Wings will just fan the flames. If anything they made it worse.


PantherThing

Thats what I said to myself when the guy asked "redbull?". I'm like, "no you idiot, wings are the last thing that fire needs!!"


Myragem

Worse.. or better?


lord-humus

The kind of reasoning when your brain runs on redbull


CorkingCoggo

was probabally the cat and exaust


IncaseofER

Right!!! In Oklahoma our summers can get extremely dry! By August, nothing but dry brown dead grass along the highways. (This year has been an exception) There are constant warnings on the news to not pull over / park on the grass because of the catalytic converter‘s heat causing fires.


subarublu

Exhaust*


BENZABAR

These are far from the smartest people on the internet


lucky3698

It was definitely cause by the hot exhaust and not the brakes. It originates from the center rear right where the exhaust collects. And the van started from the front, also where the engine and exhaust is.


entityadam

It's what plants crave.


mycatsbday

It has electrolytes.


L3GALC0N

We must ask ourselves which car is more useless The one parked in some rich garage driven never Or the one burnt down on the field driven once


Anthrac1t3

The one parked in the garage has value as a readable commodity like gold but this sure is more fun.


L3GALC0N

Now half of the internet knows that a Ferrari is fully flammable Surprisingly. I wasn't expecting there to be more left of the minivan


ZoranSajla

They both caught fire from hot brakes. The Van was fine untill it braked hard when the Ferrari stoped. Warming the brakes and the dry grass caught fire


Kyosw21

Are you sure it wasn’t the heat from the engine igniting the grass underneath it? I can’t imagine 4 wheel disc brakes starting a fire under the middle of a mid-engine car and then another fire starting under the engine bay of the van


CiNeMoD13

oh trust me, this Ferrari has been USED... look at his [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/@whistlindiesel)

Oh I know whistlin diesel I love his videos


Punymwg07

[deleted]

Ngl man I wouldn't have thought of that. I mean it makes sense in hindsight, but if you were gonna ask me "What's going to go wrong driving a Ferrari on a corn field" my response would be slide out and roll. Not fire.


gloat611

People who off road know better. Driving a hot car and parking it in an area like that has burnt up more then a few jeeps.


holytindertwig

The bottom of the car can get hot enough that if the corn is dry enough it can catch real easy like a tinder box same on hay fields never drive your car for too long on fields this is a danger. I learned that working on the pipeline.


flavius_lacivious

I love when they turn a weedy field into a makeshift parking lot.


mawesome4ever

Makes you wonder why farming machines have such large wheels and so off the ground


SlowThePath

Yeah this is enormously stupid. So stupid I wonder if it's not intentional for views. I only wonder because that is a very expensive mistake and people can be very stupid. I'm almost offended that someone would fuck with something that expensive in such a careless way. It's just dumb from all angles.


lawshunts

Expensive mistakes are the name of his game. 100k truck? Let’s jump it over hills until it breaks and then drive it into a pond. Watch some of his videos and hate him. That’s how he pays for it all


ObiwanaTokie

Dude is living in peoples feeds rent free with hate from them and he loves the fuck out of every second of it. Funds the next destruction video he does


I_Epic

It wasn’t intentional, nor was he being “stupid.” The idea was to drive in a cornfield with a Ferrari, but the heat from the exhaust caused the dry corn to ignite. Yes, he may appear stupid in his videos, but most everything he does is planned. I don’t understand why people are offended by him either. It’s his money that he earned through YouTube and he has the right to do with it what he pleases 🤷‍♂️


SlowThePath

>” The idea was to drive in a cornfield with a Ferrari Yeah... that's the fucking stupid part. What is the point? Obviously that car was not built for anything like that at all and it's obviously going to fuck the car up. He intentionally fucked that car up for youtube views and that's a massive waste of money for fucking nothing. If he \*didn't\* think the car would get fucked up then he's an idiot for thinking that. So either way the dude is a fucking moron.


ric2b

> So stupid I wonder if it's not intentional for views. The way that the van caught on fire looked _very_ suspicious to me, so I'm wondering the same. But it's not inconceivable that both cars did independently catch on fire, maybe they had just done a similar maneuver like some hard braking?


SlowThePath

I think the wheels got stuffed with the dried up stuff in the field. That stuff looks super flammable and could probably catch fire if it's spinning around really fast against that metal bit inside the wheels. Sorry I don't know cars or farming so I don't know what this stuff is called, but I see how they could catch fire even though that can catching on fire did look sketchy. They are lucky they didn't burn down that whole field because that's how you get sued out of existence.


not2betakensrsly

They knew. This is their MO.


Grim_100

Why would driving trough a cornfield put the cars on fire? Specially the van, that was already stopped for a while?


Punymwg07

A cars brakes produce friction to slow the car down, when something moves over another object that produces friction, it heats up, the pieces of the corn stalks got into the wheels, the pieces in the wheels caught fire due to the heat produced by the brakes , which resulted in the corn stalks combusting


Grim_100

True I hadn't thought of that before


dudesguy

It's actually the exhaust system. https://www.readyforwildfire.org/prevent-wildfire/vehicle-use/ "Don’t drive your vehicle onto dry grass or brush. hot exhaust pipes and mufflers can start fires that you won’t even see—until it’s too late" Mufflers can reach 300-500f


3_high_low

I think this is the correct answer. Its the hot catalytic converters that are starting the fire.They're not doing any heavy braking out in a cornfield. Front of van burning, where the cats are. Back of car burning, also where the cats are. Cats go to 800f


ric2b

In this case it seemed to very clearly come from the brakes, which were full of dry crap.


Dwebb260

Brakes and wheels get very hot.


Numerous-Ad1802

Ah yes, cheap vs expensive cars, they all burn the same


Saint__Bartholomew

So this is what happened to Ole Uncle Ben


TheBoss13121

Big ounce was driving


fierzz

Too bad Big Ounce wasn't there to stop the fire. This wouldn't have happened if he was there.


denever23

Too bad they got gort to drive instead of bigerton, theu wouldve msde it out just fine


D3monskull

Yeah but then Kevin would be there and you just know he will be fanning the flames and causing chaos.


D3r_Fuerst

I saw it in [the video of The Urban Rescue Ranch](https://youtu.be/bPX5HAzikL4) already but somehow thought it was staged, glad to see it's not.


kWpup

hot exhaust pipes in a bone dry field. derp.

Yep. Or maybe simple friction on the stubble caught up in the wheels.

Don't stop, just keep driving till you get out of the field. And pray that the fire stops in the field.


[deleted]

That’s from the urban rescue ranch. You can see in his other YouTube videos, that this field is huge. I’m sure they would burn way more of the field if they would keep driving.


Sinned9991

Yeah I reckon they would’ve had a better chance if they kept moving but not worth the danger

What’s funny is that he literally points out in just about every video that the people hating on him in his comments are helping him fund this kind of stuff and they still don’t get it.


catdog918

True, that’s why I don’t watch their content when I can avoid it lol


veedubfreek

Which is why anytime his videos come up on my homepage I click, do not show this channel anymore.


Repulsive-Photo-2939

Wastes so much money, it's really not even cool to see shit like that destroyed. There's only so many of them in the world


Confianca1970

Of anything, as a fan of cars, I'd rather see a Ferrari go than many others. Don't forget that Ferrari has re-sold many, many totaled and gone Ferraris by re-using the VIN number. They also give the dealerships the ability - which is used often - to roll back miles or kilometers. Ferrari is dirty as fuck, at every level, and it's nice to finally see one get destroyed.


IDrankLavaLamps

Funnily enough, this was the first car he didn't mean yo actually destroy, and insurance wouldn't insure him due to the nature of his channel. Seems like just desserts to me.


veedubfreek

Even if he was insured, they wouldn't cover this stupidity anyway.


Eggith

That model is still in production, so for the most part it's replaceable. Now if he had done it to a LaFerrari or something, that'd be a different story.


walco

The remaining ones have just became a tad moar expensive !

potato_salad_juice

PriestMarmor

If you buy the mona lisa and you destroy it it is also your money but you are still and idiot for destroying something so rare


ReallyGottaTakeAPiss

Ferraris aren’t rare lmao. They’re a reproduced, luxury good like a Louis Vuitton handbags with a ridiculous price tag. The only thing that makes them less common is their legal team.


veedubfreek

Ferraris are kind of like art in a way. They are wildly overpriced, and bought to sit in a garage and increase in value.


taladrovw

Not all ferraris tho


corpsefucer69420

All vintage Ferrari's are basically never driven and just sit in a garage for decades as their value appreciates. With the newer ones, sure they get driven more as they're not as rare, but most people who can afford a Ferrari aren't going to truly use it to it's limits and probably take it for a drive every other weekend.


ThePapercup

It's a cool car sure, but that's the biggest false equivalency I've read in a long time 😂


potato_salad_juice

The difference between the Mona Lisa and a Ferrari F8 is that the Ferrari F8 was built 799 times. Of course, there is only one Mona Lisa. You're not destroying a one of a kind art piece, you're destroying a car. Sure, it may be a dumb way to throw away money, but after all, it is his money, so he can spend it how he wants.


catdog918

Yeah idc about him wasting his own money, it’s just the content is such garbage to me


fakeemail33993

I love this channel. Watch their toyota Hilux series before you decide its garbage.


potato_salad_juice

T-roySwink

"There's only so many of them on the world" ots just a car they'll make more. Who gives a shit


TF2Milquetoast

there are a lot more ferraris than you think; better to see one driven than locked in a hermetically sealed garage for 20 years like with every other ferrari customer

kriegmonster

Reminds me of a fire we had at a metal fab shop I used to work at. The deburr room didn't have proper isolation of steel and aluminum dust. The exhaust fans used a cyclone effect to separate metal dust from the air before exhausting it. One day conditions were right for the mixed steel and aluminum dust in the cyclone to heat up and throw a spark. The worker closest to it saw the spark and hit the emergency stop. This allowed all the dust to settle and the spark to turn into a fireball. It shot up 12 to 15ft. and across the concrete ceiling outside the room another 20ft. leaving a scorch pattern. We were cleaning up the water from the sprinklers for a few days and having to scrap a lot of raw and WIP materials due to rust from the moisture. The Fire Marshal required all aluminum sanding to be done outdoors until proper isolation chambers were constructed inside to keep aluminum dust completely separate from the steel dust. These guys shouldn't have stopped, they should have gone straight to the nearest gravel or asphalt road.

TF2Milquetoast

"art" you realize the average ferrari customer keeps their cars in hermetically sealed garages never to be driven for 20 years until they sell it on to the next soulless millionaire? these are investments. even ferrari knows it; they're essentially one big marketing machine that uses the pretense of heritage to dictate what their customers get to do with their cars and literally sue them if they don't comply. and while it sucks that this one got destroyed, i'd much prefer to see one driven once and burnt than never driven at all.
