    It appears to have possibly started in or near a dryer

    Yep!
    First time I stopped here because I was running on fumes..
    Always get my fuel at Roady’s Space Age in Hermiston.

    Shut down for a 10 across the street at Pilot enjoying a Big Mac and nuggets :)

    Lol, got a load of fabric rolls out of SW Washington headed to WV. Thinking I probably got the highest paying load out of WA :) 007DF897-54B7-4D4D-917C-C6D6711A1F99.jpeg F0E25E48-F88B-485F-B4FE-31D6552B6E6C.jpeg 052FFF59-4C2A-4CEA-8983-E585276E69E1.jpeg

    I was hoping for more the first I stopped there, but it was just like every other TA. 4 restaurants, none open, a pre packaged bowl of oatmeal, or a dill pickle were the options. $5 each.

    Dryer is what I heard this morning from a Pilot employee. Probably could have easily been put out and saved the building but…Modern day Snowflakes are taught to run away like little girls. Run to the designated “safe zone” wait for the super heroes to arrive :)

    All over a dryer..kill the power and grab an extinguisher..

    Stop drop and roll!

    AW, come on. A broom, a bucket, be ready to reopen in a day or two.

    Was wondering what happened to that place. It was built brand new only a couple years ago.
