Tuesday, August 24, 2010 Truck Fire on I-40 in Arkansas
I’m no ambulance chaser, but this was too good to pass up. A beat-up old Ford truck on the side of the road, it’s engine on fire, and not one, not two, but three separate attempts to put it out.
Photos like this must be accompanied by captions :-)
It’s just a small fire…
We can put it out with this jug of water and this blanket!
Well that didn’t work. And my fire extinguisher is empty/ wrong kind/ inadequate.
Oh good, here comes the cavalry…
Just in time, my beer was getting hot!
Hey, his extinguisher is smaller than mine!
Ooh but it’s doing something, the fire’s going out!
Oh damn, maybe not… that can’t be good.
Nope, that did NOT work out so well now did it. Maybe it’s time to step away from the burning vehicle.
Burn baby burn…
Is that the blanket from earlier, now on the ground burning? Ouch.
Aha! The big guns are here…
Now we’re talkin’. Let’s get some water on this weenie roast!
Give me a hand with this willya?
Oh yeah, here we go… now once we get this fire put out, the car will be…
As good as new!
*ahem*

Holy Jezus!! I was laughing my ASS off! I love how they are all just standing around a giant metal container of gasoline as it burns.

For the record, I have never, EVER worn overalls without a shirt. I've never even OWNED a pair of overalls.
Let the world think we're hicks, I say. Keeps the riff raff out. :)
Here in "The South" I believe that is spelled F-A-R not F-I-R-E. Just say'n.
