Exclamation Electrical ? fire danger warning for vehicles transported in enclosed trailers

A concept vehicle shown at Pebble Beach
this year completely burned inside of
the trailer it was being towed from
the event on a country road.

The vehicle is assumed to be a
gasoline powered front engine
vehicle - the fire was intense.
Towing appeared to take place
during daylight hours.
The trailer appears to have
aluminum sidewalls and floor.

Around the same time a Tesla
Electric Semi Truck with no
trailer attached burned up
on I-80 Near Emigrant Pass.

Looking at the images and reflecting
on what I have seen over the years
this doesn’t appear to be a fire
caused by faulty electrical trailer
wiring or faulty vehicle electrical
wiring on a gas powered vehicle.

This was intense heat.

Perhaps the composite components
of the vehicle fueled the fire.

Your thoughts ?

Still images taken from
video at the scene & camera phone.
