I took these pics while doing yardwork the other day.

[LuckyCharms]

I'm not a golfer, but my home borders a golf course.

These pics were taken from my front yard.

Big explosion, then a nasty fire that destroyed a golf cart.. These were taken when the fire first started. It got a lot worse than this. I'm glad the wind was blowing the other way. I would not want to be breathing whatever is in that smoke. The plume got huge.

I'm thinking it was due to thermal runaway from a battery. Two fire trucks came and put it out.

No injuries were reported.

Be careful out there.

1. Lithium batteries you think ? That is a major inferno.

Or burning fiberglass and plastics from the golf cart body cowling's and passenger compartments ?

[LuckyCharms]

3. Yes, I'm assuming so...

I know that golf carts use either old style batteries, or lithium-ion.

[magicarpet]

5. Burning plastic and fiberglass can create nasty smoke plumes also.

Good thing no one injured.

2. OMG that's an awful fire. Glad no one was hurt.

4. Wow!

We here in the South East are under severe draught conditions with Fire Danger at peak alert. We do not need exploding golf carts, or mowers.
Gotta say though, that image of an exploding Golf Cart, gave me a second of joy, and hope. How “just” would that be for so many deaths of innocent people under a particular famous golfer.
Supremacy Court Can’t dismiss that outcome of long awaited Justice.
There is a lot of orange in the base of that fire
China made Batteries???? Hum!

6. TDB...

You have me laughing with tears in my eyes.

A welcome explosion indeed!

😹😹😹😹😹

7. I've posted and pinned the fire monitoring map in NC group.

I'm terrified of fire. I'm in a prime fuel zone. Surrounded by mostly pine trees & wooden buildings. I've been out in the mornings running the hose for the birds and critters.

It's so dry here that I'm worried about two random sticks rubbing together spontaneously. Forget about a man-made explosion.

Thanks for the laugh. ❤️ 👋

11. We need a laugh. Very badly.

And I would roll on the ground Belly laughing at that Breaking News Alert. And it is hard thinking who would I want playing with him that day. Graham loves to join him, but damn, he would need a stretch limo type golf cart to satisfy my need to laugh at that ending.

28. We're supposed to get some rain tomorrow afternoon in WNC

[littlemissmartypants]

31. I really hope that we do. My magnolia tree has dried up so bad...

More of its leaves are on the ground than on the branches.

I was outside today refilling containers that I put around the yard for the poor critters and birds.

I have a wild rabbit family that lives underground by one of my trees. Deer that visit at night. And bad as I hate them, snakes & coyotes too. Possums and squirrels. I have a huge owl that lives close by and literally bats in one of the barn lofts. They all must be parched.

I even ran the hose under the deck for a while because I know that there are frogs and lizards, beautiful skinks, that live there. I feel so bad for them all.

Thanks so much for your encouraging words, blm.

32. That sounds awesome (the number of critters you have)

Awww I like snakes and coyotes though..

I mostly like any biological organism outside the category of “The Human Male Creep”..


Its a joke!
Men Yes! Meninism No!

[magicarpet]

8. Yes,.. If djt's golf cart exploded in such an inferno like that with him inside.

We could all run to have roasted marshmallows with the firefighters before the flames died down and they tried to save trump from the burning embers.

9. Best Putt-Putt golf hole ever!

[LuckyCharms]

10. I couldn't believe people were getting so close to it.

A lot of popping noises coming from that blaze...I was worried about another explosion.

[JoseBalow]

12. Spontaneous hazard

Par for the hole increase +1

[Niagara]

13. That's scary

I'm glad that no one was hurt.


Looks like a Hazard. Too soon?

[LuckyCharms]

14. LOL

Nice one...

[LuckyCharms]

24. Yep, you know I do.

[Niagara]

25. Great, I got nothing for golf puns

That's probably because I don't golf.

[LuckyCharms]

26. In a NYC accent...

It's OK. Fore-get about it.

[Niagara]

27. That's got drive, Lucky

[LuckyCharms]

29. I have a response to that, but it's not suitable for the public.

[Niagara]

30. Well....alrighty then

[some_of_us_are_sane]

21. Good one, Niagara!

[Niagara]

[True Dough]

16. Do you have any pics

of your belly button?

[LuckyCharms]

19. Yes, but I charge $17.99 per pic.

[True Dough]

20. I can scrounge together $13,

four thumb tacks, a rubber band and a handful of bread clips.

Will that do?
