Default Another Cirrus Down

Yes, in fact there is a lot more information now concerning car crashes
being given to Firefighters. Apparently, in addition to the risk of
undeployed airbags, suspension struts are now considered highly
dangerous to Firefighters. There have been several documented cases in
which a car, on fire, as released its struct at a very high velocity.
Apparently it can easily cut a hole in a firetruck. Fireflighters die
trying to rescue people from their burnnig cars more often than people
realize.
