Fire Frenzy

What does a stay at home mom do while her kids ransack the house? She gawks out the window as a burning pile of rubbish blazes across the street. Then she decides to grab her camera and photograph the incident and upload some of the images to a local newspaper's website. Here is what she saw:

Waste Pro Garbage Truck dumps the trash load that was smoldering inside.
Once the rubbish is out in the open air it quickly ignites!

Deputies from the Sheriff's Department have to stop traffic and divert it while the fire blazes on the side of the road.

The first firetruck arrives on scene.Firefighters begin to extinguish the flames. Second truck arrives to help.Things get pretty smoky.I guess the supervisor had to check to make sure they were doing their jobs right.Firefighters using picks to separate smoldering pile.
Add some more water to really drench it!

Just about done.Now for the cleanup. How appropriate that the company that dumped the inferno cleans it up. They were pretty prompt to about sending the cleanup crew.

I uploaded 10 of these photos to our local newspaper. They are listed as photos of AugMom06. News Press Photos
