'Am I safe here?' Award winning commentary from a fire video.

It takes a lot to impress me as I search high and low for videos that are worthy of the STATter911.com audience. While this appears to be just a video of a vehicle fire in Albuquerque, New Mexico, it is more than that (actually it's two vehicles burning). If, like me, you are interested in how people react around emergency scenes (especially people with cameras), this is pure gold..

In the title of these clips, the videographer (hoppenbob) labels the whole thing "Awesome". I am not sure the video is awesome, but the commentary sure fits the bill for me. I thought the high point was yelling to the cop "Am I safe here?" and apparently not getting a reply. Maybe, if you feel the need to ask, that's your answer right there..

Looking at hoppenbob's video channel, it appears this is not his first rodeo. He has shot other fires.

I am sure there are some of you reading this who don't have the keen, artistic sense I've developed from 38 years of broadcasting and will declare, after watching these clips, that this was almost five minutes of your life that you wished you had back. Let me remind you that STATter911.com's policy is that there are no refunds.
