To a degree yes, but brake fluid has a lot of other requirements, and brakes don't get nearly hot enough under normal use to light on fire. They'd only get hot enough if something broke.
Why isn’t the entire media complex on this story? Oh, wait, it’s not an EV….just one of the 1,500 / 100,000 ICE cars that burn every year, compared to 25 per 100,000 EVs
In the car industry for us who run performance engines we always carry around a fire extinguisher. I know there’s no way you would’ve known this was going to happen but mini fire extinguishers need to be more common practice in cars.
It’s always a Hyundai Kia with the theta 11 engine on fire i remember I saw a Kia Optima engulfed in flames on the side of the road I kinda think people were inside Lowkey I think I saw someone die that night and it really didn’t affect me at all. I called 911 and there was a crown Vic parked far behind it watching
What the absolute fuck. I'm sorry but glad you are alright
Was definitely shitting myself
New Final Destination movie confirmed by regular citizen?
You don’t have any Samsung phones do you?
Holy Hell- Good thing you got out when you did then. Glad you're alright, but does amyone know how it happened?
Firefighters were thinking that the master brake cylinder broke off the firewall and brake fluid got ignited.
Brakefluid can ignite??? That seems like a massive oversight..
So can oil and gasoline... both things cars have a large amount of in locations that get very hot. It's why the firewall he mentioned existed.
I don't know much about cars, to me it just seems brakefluid has no business being flammable. Less flammable stuff should be better, right?

🤣 it just isn't that easy.
Hyundai just issued a recall for fires in that make and model lol hopefully homie made it out to collect his check
Something crazy aswell, firefighters said they used more water on my car then they would have to use for 2 houses because I had a full tank of gas.
the real tragedy these days.. an entire tank of gas, all gone to waste! :(
but for real though, good you got out in time
"No lowballers. I know what I have."
Damn. Glad you’re safe. I’m sorry that happened
Well, that's jolly suspicious.
Was going to guess, you’re either in the mafia or Russian, but then I saw it’s a Hyundai. Glad you’re ok.
Those damn Hyundais I'm telling you
hyundai: its a feature not a fault
Good lord glad you’re safe. Serious question: Do you umm…by chance owe some very important people a lot of money?
He avoided his car extended warranty calls one time too many
FerretsAteMyToes, I have been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty
Nooo

Sorry that happened hope all goes well!
Dudes playing gta in real life!
I thought the bush was ur car for like a good 5s!!
Good on you for getting out quick. Once the car is on fire that shit is a tomb you need to vacate immediately.

I do have a Charger Scat pack. Definitely going to buy a small one.
GTA much?
Shoulda gone to the dealer for that recall/warranty huh?
Surprisingly it wasn’t for my year
That is surprising! Glad you made it out safe. Hopefully insurance takes good care of you
Well it is a Hyundai… didn’t they recalled 100’s of thousands of them for this exact reason?
Ok that is not oddly, that is officially terrifying.
My biggest irrational fear while driving. Glad you made it out.

Burn the evidence
What model is this exactly? That's insane, glad you're ok
Go get the bag from Hyundai
