I think they did a good job and were brave, IDK for the time it seems they were not prepared for a scene like this and I still see it today at some tracks. Having a pumper full of foam at a track today I would deem essential and also a fire and rescue crew with Gear that could get close.

In that scene I see a ton of extinquishers being used from 100ft away because it was so hot. Yet I seen guys running in and hooking tow chains and stuff. Brave Id also say the fire dept responded pretty quickly.

See ya at the track, stay safe as possible in a race car and at the track
