Didn't even lift the tailgate. As a former garbage man, you are taught to try and save the truck if possible. You try to eject the load on the street. I don't think he had time in this situation, but he didn't even try?
I suspect a possible water supply and/or pressure issue or they realized its natural gas powered and want to set up a higher flow water monitor (cannon) to get high volume onto the fire while keeping personnel farther away
Powered by pressurized natural gas... In tanks, most likely in liquid form... And they're on fire and will explode if the safety vents don't work... I would wait at least until the tanks stopped venting before going near it, but that's just me, I kinda like living 😂
The fire is being fed by compressed natural gas. You don't want to put the fire out until you can shut off or it runs out of natural gas. However they could have at least placed a fog nozzle in service to keep the fire in check.
this is pretty much all the short videos put together. Here’s all my fire stuff: th-cam.com/play/PL8U98zf70m9FJyXQxjXo8iJZ3BQmhEMMg.html&si=6-mCgxIU-9tQWqeR
This was a natural gas powered truck. The hissing, pow and large fireball is the natural gas. The tank heated enough to start to vent through the pressure relief valve. This is to prevent the tank from having a BLEVE (boiling liquid expanding gas explosion) . They are extremely dangerous as they produce not only a shock wave and shrapnel but extreme heat.
At least that part of the road is not gonna be icy
the pavement was melted/burnt so bad, they had to replace it!
That is a Natural Gas fueled garbage truck.. the pop and hissing is natural gas the bigger pops are the tires exploding
Wow that is Crazy Im sharing This on My Page
That isn't how you ask for permission. Now ask nicely.
Well..... At least you got your trash picked up.
Flowers are dead
Where did it happen?

I’m not sure. He was a ways away from the truck by the time I saw it.
Did the fire truck break down??
yeah, we aren't sure what happened. The driver got out.

Yeah 😂 some green planet crap huh. Bunch of nonsense but a diesel engine in it and sit down
@rodneystill8118 Go back to your cave and rattle some sticks.
I see nothing out of the fire dept that showed up.
They eventually started spraying it with water after it burned for quite a while.

What location ?
That was up in the Chicago suburbs years ago
Another reason i can't trust natural gas. Im pretty sure this isn't what should spring to mind when one hears the phrase go green.
Wow that’s crazy it happened right in front of your house and where is the fire department
they were across the street a bit. they let it burn down for a while.
@@Lastluke oh ok
Notice how the hose draggers are in no hurry to put out the fire.

Do you have any more videos of this

@@Lastluke that’s awesome you witnessed that I’ve been filming garbage trucks for 2 years and I haven’t seen anything like that before
It was definitely a weird day.
Your gonna need some new bins lol
Mailbox and pavement had to be replaced too!
@@Lastluke oh no
I’m guessing the “pow” and fireball was a hydraulic hose bursting and spraying onto the flame. Then keeps spraying… until the pressure is gone.
some of the explosions were the tires bursting too.
Pressure relief popping off
