Look what I made happen!

Which is to say, I called them — I did not actually torch the car they'd come to douse! View it large and you'll see the fireman tugging on a hose. It was slightly comical watching the guy struggling to pull the hose all the way down over the cliff (to get to the car seen burning in the photos to either side of this one in this photostream.) The barrier to stop lorries and campers getting into the car park wasn't openable for the fire engine.

This is almost the end... once the fire was out, they formed a bucket chain and used sea water to douse the battery and engine bay. Trying to preserve a little water in the fire engine, just in case.

Lewes (East Sussex, UK) suffers really badly from flooding, since most of the flood plain has been built on, especially in the latter 20th Century when various concrete-floored retail parks and industrial estates have sprawled well beyound the railway goods yards they began in. Here some pumps dump water from the streets back into the river after the flood has begun to subside. It had been so bad that domestic insurance companies set up emergency contact centres in the back of lorries!
