That truck belongs to my buddy Todd Gonda who I grew up next to in millington, one of his workers was driving it & overheated the transmission & it caught on fire, Glad no one was seriouslly hurt...
bummer on the ole work truck,
Everyone should carry a fire exstiguiser in your bogger!

i also got to say that first pic is a very "moving" pic, because it says more than 1000 words, it tells a very good tragic story.

They were awfully casual when it first started.  Didnt seem to really care.  Trucks smokin' and they were still sitting in it... slowly got out.  Then people yell fire and they walk around slowly to look, then tried to hand splash a little muddy water in the wheel well.  Just seemed like there was no sense of urgency.

I feel this fire could have been put out if prepared and acted upon better.


Let the flaming (no pun intended) of me commence.

I would be outraged!!! I wish my camera memory wasnt full or I would have been taping.  Took a couple pictures, but the ones above are better as I was all the way across the bog from it.

im sure that at first they thought it was a radiator hose or somethin that blew off.  once they realized it was on fire they did everything they could with what they had to put it out.  sry it wasnt as fast as you would have liked it to be.  and if they werent that worried about it in the first place why should you be?  no need to be a jerk about it...   everyone was unharmed at the end of the day thats all that matters!   bummer on the good ole work truck tho

I wasn not meaning to be a jerk.... and I was not close to the only one with the thoughts I expressed earlier.
