I'd be f*cked if that happened to my car.  I've never own a fire extinguisher.

I don't understand why you'd just stand there filming and let it burn  :huh:

Fair enough it got out of control quite quickly but he could have easily attempted to put it out at the start. I carry an extinguisher but whether it still works or not is another matter  :lipsrsealed:
