BBQs You Don't Want

On the way home Wednesday night, I got stuck in a traffic jam. I was wondering what the problem was when I noticed a lot of smoke. By the time I got to the problem area, it was plain to see that a Jeep roast was occurring. It got me thinking about how to be prepared for emergencies while on the go.

My 72-hour kit will do fine for me if I am stuck, but had I had a fire extinguisher in my car, I could have helped. Instead I drove by feeling sorry for the poor lady who was watching her car go up in flames. At the point that I passed, the fire was contained to the engine compartment. If I had been better prepared, I might have been able to help keep it from spreading. From the looks of the burn marks as I passed last night, I don't think that happened.
