Garbage Truck Drops Flaming Load in Fairfield, NJ

[thesoulsekr]

Should've let the fire burn itself out. Less clean up.

Any other firefighters here see this fire and then automatically look for the nearest hydrant?

[caterpilar665]

not to be rude, but really, "do we even have a fire hydrant" what type of question is that.

Neighbor with the hose:

That damn voodoo doll i through away is still bringing bad luck lol

[MccDeezy]

Does anyone know how it caughtfire?

[subversesounds]

I worked for Roselle disposal. Driver did the right thing. Ejected the load in the middle of the street away from houses and power lines and did not let the quarter million dollar truck burn up. had the truck caught fire the fire would have been much harder to put out inside the body. sometimes people hide things in the trash that you just dont catch every time. you pick up thousands of cans a day it is hard to know exactly what is in there.

Thought it was illegal to burn in the city limits,lol

[BS51993]

Its common sense not to throw a car bettery in the trash. C's and D's dont to much harm but a car battery? Thats just stupid

[jonny2k100]

I have to admire the neighbour. He did what he thought was best for the community. Although he wouldn't of been able to put out the fire he would try his best. Good for him.

Hmm, the flaming load became a big steaming load! And well, being in New Jersey, folks, the jokes just write themselves! LOL.

"wheres the fire hydrant? do we have a fire hydrant?" ...duh lady..its the big red and white thing thats been infront of your house since youve lived there

[joek0617]

@radvette20 obviously, they must not shovel it out in the winter.....

[sr633]

Saw it happen with dumped fire place ash.

[Crazcompart]

I remember this one from the local newspapers...NJ EPA had a field day with this one...

[JBurk2322]

wow he got lucky great video!

[kkowalsky]

Is this Fairfield's garbage recycling program?

Great job at making a video out of this fiery Fairfield fiasco. Maybe you should send it into Eyewitness News on Channel 7.

[carolynmessina]

They got it all cleaned up. Fire dept has been going through the debris to determine the cause. They found all bad stuff that should never have been thrown out (or picked up) - kerosene can, car batteries, tailgate grill...

[ItalianBlackheart123]

@carolynmessina Damn thats fucked up.

[joek0617]

@carolynmessina it was probably the battery, those thing will explode when the reaction isn't controlled

[masterofdo]

WAY TO GO CAROLYN!

Did they get it cleaned up?

Gosh I'm not looking forward to getting home now.
