I read it was a rental car.

If someone put a 70% alcohol hand sanitizer for a while in the car and then he proceed to light a cigarette, is there a danger? Genuine question.

It's possible..

The maotai sellers used to light up their wines to demonstrate their high alcohol content, and that is less than 70%..

But in this case, maybe a poorly maintained fuel line or radiator ruptured? I can't imagine how well these rental cars are maintained?

hmmm ... i doubt 70% is that flammable ?

yes, its rental car, so maintenance and could also be a factor.

this model of mazda 3 is not that old too.

70% is flammable actually. I read before. But it’s those isopropyl alcohol. Not sure about hand sanitizer.

looks like fire is from cabin.

fell asleep smoking in car ?

electrical add on inside car not wired properly ?

Whatever the cause, you and I can be sure nothing will come out of it. Coroner will rule a "tragic misadventure".

There won't be any rules or regulations being passed if this was due to some oversight or what.

If due to electrical short-circuit due to some bad worksmanship by workshops, you can bet that workshops will still take shortcuts when splicing electrical wires when customer needs some wiring work done like installation of sound systems, in-car cameras etc.

If due to smoking inside car, meh - nothing will/can change...

Everyone just watch the video and say "oh so sad, so young, so tragic" - then everyone moves on with their lives the next day instantaneously.

There is expiry date to all distinguisher. 

Google there are some company doing walk in fill up.

I would suggest beside extinguisher one can consider those fire blanket. More handy in time of emergency I reckon.

i don't think hand sanitiser's are that flammable lah ... otherwise will have warning labels pasted everywhere already. 

this fire was not very big and confined to the cabin. looking unlikely that its an electrical short circuit fire, me thinks.

I have one given by supplier but find it cumbersome inside the car so opted for a fire blanket instead. Neatly folded up inside the glove compartment.

If a car door is auto lock and cannot auto unlock after accident or engine is off. I think this is not safe.

At least I know my previous 2006 German car, door lock up when drive off and auto unlock once engine is off.

Doors unlocked, engine off and hazard light on.
