Ok.. Fair comment then. If they can pinpoint that exact vehicle then I would imagine their insurance would be liable !

Magnesium or high magnesium content alloy, surely? Aluminium alloy as used in some car panels doesn't ignite...
"Austerity to blame", no chance missed for the fire brigade, especially a Scouse one, to try and kick the Tories ehh
Classy...

You know for a fact that the statement is untrue?
It took them longer to control/extinguish the fire because they didn't have the resources they used too. That's a direct consequence of them being defunded and their capacity reduced."Austerity to blame", no chance missed for the fire brigade, especially a Scouse one, to try and kick the Tories ehh
Fact; they had to call in for resources from outside the area (Manchester) which resulted in delays.
Why make it political ?
If labour hadn't damned near Bankrupted us with foreign wars etc there'd be no need for Austerity.

Some dudes car caught fire. They would NEVER had been able to put out the fire with so many vehicles in close proximity.
Fact... The Lorry company I used to work for lost 8 vehicles (GRP cabs) because they were all ranked neatly up next to each other over the weekend. The initial cause was a driver put a CB in the cab without a fuse next to the battery.
They could've lost the entire fleet of 70 vehicles but the blaze was noticed and trucks moved.

Fire Brigades and their unions are notoriously political and left leaning, they have been like that for donkey's years. Nearly as bad as the hierarchy of the Church of England.
I've never heard of any previous incident like this happening before. If anyone has any similar stories to this please post them.
This seems like an abnormal event. Even if someone blew up a car, I can't imagine how it spread so fast.. unless they were parked really close to each other. In that case then the owner of the multistory needs to reduce the number of spaces its advertising.

They've all got..... Fuel tanks.
Trust me, a car goes up quickly and there are plenty of things that go bang before you worry about the fuel tank. The heat is intense even when the fire is just taking hold around the engine bay. Add another one nearby with even a small boot fire and the heat gets really fun even from across the road.

Is the definition of austerity now just blaming the government for the fact that budgets for public spending cannot be infinite?

No.
Fact: they called in resources from Lancashire and Manchester to provide fire cover in Liverpool while the Merseyside Fire Brigade dealt with the fire in the car park.
