So out of curiosity - what is the protocol when the first responders arrive? Do they have some sort of filtration or vacuum device that they use to vent out the car first?

They basically evacuate the area and then someone wearing protective gear like an SCBA (air pack) goes in, opens the door and they allow it to ventilate with no one nearby to potentially get hurt.

TBH if they threw a rock (or shot a low-velocity projectile like a beanbag round) through a window and waited a second or two for it to vent it would probably be oky.
