Normal people run from danger. Firemen run towards it. Be thankful we have them.

Airbag went off? That's all I can think of.

What I was thinking too. Location of explosion and looks to be pyrotechnics involved.

I must have missed the part where they first wheel him into position.

I agree. Looks like the airbag. Didn't even appear to flinch.

Utmost respect for Volunteer FF.

Anybody else notice that he checked the spray pattern for the nozzle on the ground before approaching the car? IMO, he was making sure he had the right tool for the job.
