dodge demon blows trans during burnout at dragstrip fire and attitudes get in the way

I did not see fire/rescue personnel in the video at all. There is no way a track worker dressed in sneakers, shorts and a t-shirt is legally bound to fight an under hood or under car fire, period. If the promoters insurance or event permit did not require qualified safety crews on the property then it is on the participants to assume the responsibility. This looked like street racing without the police getting involved.
I was involved in a dirt track team for 35 years or so. Every venue we raced had certified fire rescue teams on track and in the pits. Also there were 2 ambulances on sight with paramedics ready to respond. The fire personnel wore full turnout gear with nomex gloves, helmets and face shields. I have seen fire/rescue dive through the window of a modified with an engine fire to unbuckle a disoriented driver and pull him from the car.
Everyone who races knows how valuable add space is on the race car for sponsors and local advertising. Our cars always had free space to thank the safety crews for their time.
