    I did love the commentary on the utube. Always an idiot gotta say something stupid and somebody else deadkey. I heard 1 comment about hoping the driver got out.

    Helluva Fire...

    Driver was inside taking a shower. The fire department is Madison County Volunteer Fire Department. Regardless, trucks go up so fast due to the fuel and combustible materials on board that it doesn't matter if we were there in 3 minutes, it's a losing battle.

    Odd that on the very same day (1/14/13) I stopped on Kansas I70 MM198 (I think) to make sure everyone was okay in this brake fire calamity.

    Everyone was ok, but the big truck didn't fare so well.
