The heat shield fiberglass will burn like that. The stuff is used around exhaust pipes to keep the rest of the car from melting. I've seen it turned to powered around some pretty hot diesel powered "play" trucks exhaust piping. Turbo diesels can create some heat well over 1500F.
True...It was a VW probably with that pos 2.0 turbo in it. Maybe that was part of the downpipe wrap? Or the plastic and lead plates in the battery shielded the glass mat from getting consumed - like insulation.
Whatever it is - this Maui thing is really f'd up. Make sure you check out the video with the 6' tall black fences they're putting around with NG keeping people moving along and private security preventing people from entering.

I saw that video. "Nothing to see here! And "move along" comes to mind. They really don't want any evidence of this attack getting out.
