The firefighters were showing off their stuff Saturday at the Somerset Steam and Country Show in the UK when the car fire demo got away from them. The flaming blue Ford Escort began rolling and firefighters from Light Aviation Fire and Rescue Service were not able to stop it. The only thing that kept the burning car from the crowd of 50 watching the demo was a hot dog stand. No one was hurt in the incident in Low Ham near Langport, Somerset
The burning motor finally came to a stop on the tow hitch of the catering unit, which had been evacuated moments before.
Had the car not been stopped by the food truck it would have kept rolling into the funfair behind where dozens of families were enjoying the rides.
