Foam grenade inside a car

Well, it just shows you how dated my vehicle design knowledge is ... oh well. :(

The rule simply means that you didn't have to roll for each individual fire (for example if your tires were on fire).

I will continue to treat the ADQ&A response regarding gas fires as an anomaly as the gas engine rules changed drastically between Duel Track and the subsequent compendiums (YMMV).

My apologies - when I read one of the responses, what I was reading was that it was being interpreted as automatically putting out the fires, hence my response.

FWIW, the chances of fire extinguishers working on gas fires didn't change between Dueltrack and the Compendiums - they were always 1 harder than normal to put out.

Ah... my turn to apologise. I had overlooked that aspect. Since that is the case and has been consistently so, I will change my opinion on the foam grenade and gas vehicle fires. I agree that they should have no effect (regardless of how many you set off).
