massive lorry fire. 5 fire engines and couple of police.

[@zyglo9826]

A fire involving a large vehicle, in a remote location without any hydrants or natural water sources nearby, is always a bad situation.

[@essexaea]

Yes most definitely! Especially that close to a farm

[@garethbeynon3377]

Because of the remote location and probably no hydrant close they brought a water bouzer to supply the pumps as they only carry 3-5 minutes worth of water supplies each! I guess it’s left to burn under control but ideally if it was possible then they would extinguish it fully without the water shortage.
Still, great footage and commentary 👍🚒🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

What the heck is that thing the fire department is driving? Looks like the old Purina dog food truck

[@essexaea]

Haha yes very true. I guess it's all they could afford

[@simonsupersi2225]

So they put road block up then put extra cones past their car? 🤣🤦‍♂️

[@essexaea]

Yeah I know, they actually drove past me while I was directing traffic, just to watch the fire and only came back when my neighbour pointed out what I was doing, they even asked me If a angry man had spoken to me 😄
