Sounds like an urban legend, and not a very good one either. :-)

In my experience, limited as it may be, ANY fire that gets inside any
typical car will spread VERY fast.

I'm not the only one who recalls it.

Oh, yes...I remember the Pinto. I also remember the rusting 3-year-old
hulks called Datsuns and TOYotas, especially the mini pickups, that
had bed sides that were made of two halves, with the joint being open
to everything the rear tires could throw at them. I also remember
those cameries whose power locks would lock, catch on fire, and trap
their passengers inside for a little bar-b-que. Fine stuff built back
in the day.

A local tv news reporter woman said in some countries the Honda Fit car
is called Jazz and I think she said Citi.

Maybe that is why there are so many tv ads about those hammers with the
pointy tips on them.If you can't get out of your car, bust out a window
with the hammer device.Auto stores sell them too.

The new standard issue accessory for cars, a hammer.

Fibreglass burns quickly and with a lot of nasty combustion products, but
tires are not exactly safe in that regard either.

Gasoline burns comparatively cleanly, but it burns very quickly, and
you're sitting right on top of twenty gallons of it.

Fire and cars don't mix.
