OMFG that is too sad!
Who knew that a cheap little car designed for the masses at the whim of an evil dictator could be so very cool more than 6 decades later?

Two things to think of....1: it was oddviously an electrical fire(so why didn't the dumba*@ pull the negative battery terminal)....2: this almost looked staged(look at how slow the firefighters move, I mean when I was a voluntering as a FF, we were always hot to put out a fire....). People, there is a VERY different smell when wires burn, If this ever happens to you, 1:PULL THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL OFF YOUR BATTERY, 2: If it is fuel/oil, dry chemical is not as effective as foam.....REMEMBER THIS!!!!!!! It just might save your car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure what they were doing with the fire extinguisher apparently they should have read the instructions... pull pin squeeze handle?? oh yea and aim it at the base of the fire.
