Car fire at Cumberland Green
MFD responds to many motor vehicle fires throughout the year. Each one must be dealt with using extreme caution due to various safety and crash equipment installed on today's vehicles.

	Prying the hood up to expose the fire is often a challenge. Fires generally render vehicles worthless (total insurance loss if covered by insurance)

	Prying open the hood to extinguish the flames does not "add" damage as the fire has most likely damaged the vehicle beyond repair and is necessary to extinguish the flames.
