Gas tanker roll over and fire

Here is link to a loaded tractor trailer that had 9500 gallons of gas and 1500 gallons of diesel, the tt driver was cut off on a sharp curve by a car that merged from an onramp and collided with 2 other cars, the driver of the tt unit did a fantastic job of not killing anyone, unfortunately he died as a result of the ensuing fire. I was at this fire scene on duty with my ladder co. all I can say is this driver is a Hero for controlling the tt long enough to place it where he did. My condolences to his family.

Here is a link to the website for my part time job, go to accident photo's and click on tanker fire, it is a 30 meg download and shows a small video of us recovering the tractor. They called me to come in after I got off duty at 17:00 to work the recovery.
