During the truck Fire - 06-18-2008, 01:00 AM


I thought kb's post was the same incident as mine...this happened Monday the 16th of June, 2008. I was driving back from Walli-world and saw a puff of black smoke in the distance...I sped toward the smoke hoping to catch a dramatic event. Good thing I had my gear with me. I arrived just before the police and Fire Trucks.
Mercy the steam/smoke smelled awful. It stuck to my clothes and skin quick.
Guess it was another case of the infamous exploding Fords...

Good to see SCBAs in use on a vehicle fire; too often they're not.

Nice photos.

Yep, too many chemicals that kill in that smoke now days. I always were an SCBA when at a car fire. Nice shots too!

Nice action shots. Love the first one with the "Auto Center" sign in the background.
