Fire wasn't even knocked down. Absolutely 0 reason to get this close to a car fire.

Yeah that's what I'm hearing. I have a feeling his superior may have given him a bit of an ultimatum after seeing this video, lmao. Get retrained or get the fuck outta here.

His superior may also be the one ordering him to be overly aggressive on every vehicle fire. Not all company officers have safety at the forefront of their decision making process.

That's actually shocking to hear. I would have thought safety is the number one priority.
