Hate to see one burn down. All the white smoke/steam on the last few shots was probably from the residual LiPo fire and water. Probably burned the asphalt a bit too.
Looks like a classic LiPo fire. But if a LiPo flashed first, typically a short would have caused it to flash and it would have been a lot more light smoke from the get go. But both my LiPo fires resulted in a lot of light smoke. Kind of depends on what was in contact with the LiPo too.
I had an ESC go on a Beaver once and it was black smoke right off the bat as it burned thru the fuse. Fortunately, I got to it and put it out before the LiPo battery flashed. But that ESC melted thru to the point it was on the ground hanging from the wires.
