Woman asks firefighters if it's their first fire

Firefighters have a tough enough job as it is. The one thing they don't need is a woman like this one, chastising them for not acting as quickly as she would have liked. It all started in Arlington Heights, Ill., when a 1969 Camaro caught fire in the trailer it was traveling in.

Have to admit - losing a '69 Camaro would suck...

I dunno. It looked pretty fast to me.

Maybe the best advice for the couple is to have more, and larger fire extinguishers. That, or a dry chemical system.

If they were way out in the sticks, they'd really not like the response time.

That lady's mouth reminded me of my ex. The hose was pointing at the wrong thing.

Looked like a text book operation to me. The third FF went up to the second one holding the hose and said something. Probably, we should just let this thing burn a little longer.

Geez lady... there's a point when you realize that the car is totalled anyway, even if they got to it sooner.

So...how exactly did this car catch on fire?

Odds are -> User Error

Not tieing down the battery and it falling over/shorting out comes to mind.
