Fire truck excitement at the corner

Camshawn · 2026-07-11 19:58

We had a little excitement this afternoon at the corner. 2 fire trucks and a few policemen for traffic control. one of the firemen said it was the 3rd fire today for them. The first truck was on the way back to the hall to refill water after a car fire when the call came in so that is why we got 2 trucks. There are no hydrants out this way. All water is trucked in for a fire. A house fire can have 8 or more trucks bringing water from the closest hydrant

    Surprised the reefer still looks reasonably good from this angle.

    Toast, it melted the doors and any harness behind it. But only six mounting bolts and its off and another in its place. Take about one hour to replace.

    Looks like the regen is working.

    No kidding. Too bad they don't do it for free, there would be hundreds of calls per day.
