Bristol Va tanker explosion
Here is an impressive video of a tanker exploding on I-81 in Bristol, Va. The driver of the tanker noticed his breaks were on fire, and notified 911. A VA State patrolman arrived on scene and caught the explossion on tape with the dash cam. My Brothers at the Bristol, VA Fire Dept arrived on scene to extinguish the fire when the tanker exploded. Members of Tower 3(Quint) were in the process of stretching a hand line when the explosion occured. Thankfully, at the time of the explosion, members of T-3 were on the opposite side of the apparatus pulling a hand-line. A nearby motel, along with cars in the parking lot, substained some damage from the explosion. I bet that one scared their mules.
