Sometimes, some stories just make you go, “Hmm…”

The story about what happened to the five rental vehicles that Joe Biden and his family used while they were on vacation in Nantucket is one of those stories.

The Biden family spent the past week in Nantucket. We’ve reported on some of the highlights of the trip, including the creepy pic that had Biden photobombing little girls, his clueless take on the England-USA tie at the World Cup, and his concerning comment that he wanted to do away with all semi-automatic guns.

While the Biden family was on the island, the Secret Service rented five vehicles from a Hertz to help carry around the family and protect them. But for some reason, all five of those vehicles burst into flames in the parking lot and burned after they had been turned back in, according to the Nantucket Current.

The cars included a Chevy Suburban, Ford Explorer, Infiniti QX80, Ford Expedition, and a Jeep Gladiator.

The vehicles were parked at the Nantucket airport and the blaze reportedly spread to just 40 feet away from the facility’s jet fuel tanks. It is currently unknown what caused the fire. Fox News reached out to the White House for information, but they did not immediately respond.

“At approximately 5:22 am Airport shift staff observed an active fire in the rental car overflow area through the Airport’s Closed Circuit Television System,” the airport said in a statement to the Current. “Staff activated the Alert system and responded to the fire in Airport-3, where they were met by responding units from Nantucket Fire Department and Nantucket Police Department.”

“Combined fire resources responded and contained the fire. Several vehicles were damaged. The Airport is currently coordinating with rental car agencies and agency partners to ensure scene safety, There is no longer an active fire at this time: the Airport is open, and aeronautical operations are not affected,” the statement continued.

But all five of the vehicles the Secret Service rented going up in flames understandably had a lot of people talking and seems more than a little coincidental that it happened after the Secret Service turned the vehicles back in. One also has to question if the Biden family had been put in any danger by this incident, or if there was something about the vehicles or the Biden family’s use of them that caused the fire.

The Current suggested that the Ford Expedition had been under a battery recall. But still, that seems a bit odd. Even if one went up, then it took out all the five vehicles that they had rented? It demands an investigation to determine what was going on here.
