Either way, expertly done by the marshals on scene!!
I'm thinking the same thing. Many parts were torn off the car in the impact and some of them would be hot, as the fuel ran down the hill it may have reached a piece of broken brake rotor or pad or........

As a competitor, not a marshall, I'd like to send a big thumbs up to the firies on the scene who did such a great job. Very well done guys!
