Rolls with it...
Sounds like they didn't have time to... the driver called when he stopped, took a few minutes to get thru on a cell, then it took 12 minutes for the firetruck to show up.

Did the Limo driver make ANY attempt to break the windows? :|

they/he opened the door according to a news article I read and then the fire went full on boil once it got a good oxygen supply.
Sure, that interior is going to be full of foam and plastic, all of which is basically solidifed gasoline, and it's probably starved for oxygen and above its ignition point.
I don't think people realize the rate at which most interiors (home, office, car, etc.) can burn.

I'm thinking this could actually be part of problem. Parking brake not fully disengaged brake rotor red hot caused other parts to go up n flames

That and only further confirmation the door could only be opened from the outside. I wonder if this is going to lead up to a lawsuit.
Seeing the video(s)- I didn't see best effort,
Ever stand by a car fire.? Heat is so intense the closer you get you feel your going to catch fire.

Not without training like I'd expect fire fighters get.
There was a TV program quite a while ago, titled Anatomy of a Disaster..or something like that.
And one of the disasters was a fire in a living room.
It went from a cigarette starting couch material, to the curtains to the ceiling, and temp spike at that point to balls of flame shooting through the air explosions of things self igniting, in less than 3 minutes.
This was all recorded on camera's set up to do this...I doubt if anyone would imagine it possible.

Try seconds, not minutes.

The limousine company is fucked because they were transporting too many passengers. The company will squirm and try to hang it all on the driver, who will be smeared to look like the bad guy for not stopping sooner or trying to help.
If it was the wiring for the lights or the stereo or even the work done by the limo conversion company, expect them to be hung out to dry as well.

Maybe I missed it, but how do we know that that limousine was limited to 8 rear passengers?
That's what their permit said was the limit for that particular vehicle.

Several reports. But one extra passenger did not make an appreciable difference in that fire.
