I saw this on TV news earlier.

This is one lucky guy, to have been yanked out of the burning car by officers, just before it totally went up in flames!

"I was amazed at how fast the car went up once we rescued him"

Well duh. Introduce oxygen to an oxygen starved environment, and complete the fire tetrahedron and guess what??

FIRE!!!

Kudos to the officers nonetheless, for their quick thinking, saving that mans life!!!
