“Wow
Is that from that Tesla?”

No. A gasoline tanker truck!

No. A gasoline tanker truck!

This reminds me of an incident that I was on... My crew and I responded to a 3:00 AM call at a motel across the freeway from us. The cab of a gasoline truck parked near the building was on fire and the driver was running around screaming his head off. He had started a full blown panic telling everyone who he had woken up that the truck “was going to blow!”

We didn't have time to deal with the panicked crowd screaming and running around in every direction. We knocked the fire down with the water in our booster tank, and then told everyone to go back to bed.

It is rare for gasoline trucks to burst into flames even when they are involved in serious collisions with other vehicles and structures. This one was caused by the driver who fell asleep smoking in his truck.
