- Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
- Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).

Shit. First responders don't carry a Sawzall?
In this case the first responder was just some guy working at the corner store. He only had a fire extinguisher, but for basically any other car brand that would have been fine: open the door, drag people out, spray the fire, good enough probably.
But these people were in a Tesla, which requires electricity to open the doors (or a hidden manual release that can only be used from inside and involves several unintuitive steps)
Fair enough, I just read the headline and saw the picture of people in yellow vests. If you want me to read the article I'll need another coffee.
