    In the video, the owner claims that it isn't the first time he's had a car on fire...
    "What's that loud, boring sound you'll hear when I stop talking?"
    "It's an albino humping worm!"
    "Why do they call it that?"
    "Because it doesn't have any pigment."

    It's either he has only owned Italian sports cars or he's a pyromaniac with an expensive habit.

    I noticed the fireman with the crowbar/pick axe.

    Bet he wanted to take a swing at the car...

    ... so he can say he took a swing at a Lamborghini!

    I assume the BC is in case gasoline or oil leaks and catches fire.

    Why is it the supercars catch fire? Seems comical....scary....and stupid all at the same time.

    Friction materials, like brake pads, do catch fire sometimes.

    I don't think the police dispatch report is enough to conclude that's what happened here. More likely an engine fire where the flames were first seen coming out the wheel well.
