Another example of someone silly enough to buy a black car in Western Australian conditions. People who do so need to find their physics teacher and ask for their money back.

As a voluntary firefighter I’ve come across many examples of black or coloured objects absorbing enough radiant energy to reach ignition.

In the Margaret River fire houses burned down because:

1	Black vinyl barbecue covers on second-floor verandas catching fire & setting the wooden veranda ceiling on fire, then the rest of the place

2	Black pillows on a couch smouldering. Luckily we spotted them, broke the window, and threw them into the ashbed of the garden

3	Rubber outside doormats catching fire and burning long enough to set the door on fire, then the rest of the house. Why have outside doormats in a fire-prone area?

4	Non-white curtains caught fire because the owners did not think about thoroughly dousing them with water. They then set the rest of the place on fire.

In the Victorian bushfires many victims were roasted in their cars after crashing into fallen trees or each other in the smoke. Of those who didn’t crash, 100% of the white cars made it to safety. Not so the coloured ones.
