The picture you posted is a still from a youtube video, which you can view at the source story https://www.nantucketcurrent.com/rental-cars-used-by-secret-service-destroyed-in-fire-at-airport .

The wouldn't be crime scene tape if there wasn't any crime. I work around vehicle storage yards - and have had a few instances over the years where fires take out an entire row of cars. There's always a stopping point though, where there's enough of a gap or firewall so that the burning stops. The fires may have even extinguished themselves, without firefighters assistance. They would just be there after the fact to investigate and make sure there was no risk of reignition.

It is slightly interesting that none of the vehicles were total burns, and only the front end/engine compartments seem to be affected. But that may be an improved feature of newer vehicles - better interior firewalls.

And since this is a rental car facility, as in many car storage facilities, space comes at a premium. So the unblemished cars you see around them may have been moved into place after the fires were out.. as you can see from the yt vid, the tow truck is able to get to the vehicle from the other side.

Edit to add the question you're not asking: there were 2 sources who let it be known that these rental cars had recently been used by the Secret Service. Just gossipy rental car employees? Or is someone trying to communicate something with the story?
