A pickup truck burned outside my house for about an hour this morning. The firefighters had a helluva time putting it out. I think the fire got into the gas line, so it just kept spurting flames out. The interior of the truck was almost all gone. The dash melted away and all you could see were the guts. One of the tires exploded, which was pretty damn loud.

The craziest part about the whole ordeal, there was some kind of machine filling up 2/3s of the truck bed and the driver told me that it’s run by propane. After they finally put the fire out, I saw them pull 4 scorched tanks of propane from the truck. It’s rather amazing it didn’t blow up considering the whole truck was on fire and how long the truck was burning.

Here’s 4 pics of the whole ordeal:

Squirt it with as much foam as possible!

A brave soul walking up to it with a fire extinguisher. It actually burst into flames again just after this and burned another half hour or so.
