Just so everyone is clear, if you have a crashed car on fire,  unless you need to save someone's life in the other crashed non burning car, wait for the freaking fire department before trying to separate them....

I can understand someone not realizing the vehicle was not in park.  It would be dumb to assume it was in park after an accident, but can understand why some people would think so.  I can't understand how anyone would assume the parking break would be on.  I bet most drivers don't even realize it exists, and most of those that do know about it wouldn't think about it after an accident.

Most drivers don't even know how to spell parking brake.

Random car bursts into flames rolling up against a house. It's like something from a movie or cartoon. You know, when Hans Moleman is driving and he taps a tree, a truck full of flammables, or the Edgar Allen Poe house.

Cars are not supposed to explode into flames without cause in the Real World, but they don't know that.

I'm pretty sure most well-equipped cops carry wheel chocks for this exact reason. it must be a common occurrence that cars in accidents are not in park.

How dare you assume that the other individual wasn't let down by systemic failures which resulted in their inability to spell?!?

This just just in: cops are fallible human beings like the rest of us.

Hey!  I know that neighborhood!  My mother's family is from Steelton and the immediate vicinity.  I've spent more time than I could hope to account for at my aunt's house which was about half a mile away from the crash house.

There's not greater point here, other than this being a small world.
