Love the videos keep them coming!

[@chevyon37s]

I was welding up our hay rake one time.... hydro lines were routed through the center frame tube... welding to the outside of that frame and the hydro lines melted internally made for some nice flames and luckily the spray of hydraulic oil put the fire out somewhat quick.... boss comes back and says "I just wish I could have seen your face!" And like you said while it's happening it feels like everything is in slow motion!

[@daryl5638]

like your truck story, i'm a truck driver and was going threw a couple thoughts as you were telling the story. just like you said he could have been in the sleeper. I also have farming background so keep up the videos.

[@GuyinWY]

Thanks Daryl!

I have heard of Huron, I live not too far from there. The old Garner town track is still there, but it's in really bad shape.

[@deanbrown4512]

Excellent video, I had a van catch on fire and I relived your experience

[@GuyinWY]

+Dean Brown I had a fire extinguisher go off in a van once.

I use to work at Cheyenne Freightliner(Floyd's). I use to live in Cheyenne, off and on, for 15+ years.

Another great video. Sorry about the truck. 😢

Fire is my absolute biggest fear at work, mainly. Due to the fact I work in a mine. Our machines all have ansul fire suppression systems that work great.

[@jankotze1959]

Great story and video tanks

[@garykolo8650]

I can totally relate to the story after 30 years of fighting fire.

[@GuyinWY]

Firefighters don't get the appreciation they deserve Gary, thanks for doing what you did.

[@morgansword]

I have seen a few through the years and some were bad... I seen a man come out of his truck on fire... he died after a few weeks in the hospital and he was messed up bad... grease fire and leaving the truck to run to keep warm while taking a have to rest

[@glendaporche9363]

Any way possible on your 5320 show and discuss the hoses that hook to the valve from tractor to loaded valve

[@KiotiCS]

Great story and video have a safe trip ! Curt :-)

[@wbball15]

Great story, Blake. More later!

[@Michael-tq5il]

Great story.

[@potskie420]

it's an international thing I swear. I've lost a 4400 to an electrical fire that broke out randomly through the night. Buddy lost an 8800 while going down the road to the same thing.

[@mchl8]

We had a pete go somthing like that in the yrd running n a guy sleepin in bunk. I hear petes are know for a short in the battery bx area.

[@kmcwhq]

On all my Tractors, Mowers, Forklifts, etc I leave the Neg battery cable clamp loose on the battery. That way it can be yanked off easily. I also take it off after I'm done using the machine and parking it inside. Heard too many stories just like this one over the years.

[@johnr8476]

The photo of the burned tractor and trailer looked like a White-Volvo?

[@HillbillyRednecking]

No pictures :(

[@georgedoorley5628]

cant beat a battery isolation switch or "kill switch" for fire prevention

[@GuyinWY]

+George Doorley agreed. We disconnect the batteries on our stuff before parking it for the year.

[@cws10692]

George Doorley I always have 1 fuze off the battery battery terminal depending on the amps of the motor drawing

[@rallymadboy]

I'm curious did it take much to get the truck back on the road and how long did it take.

[@GuyinWY]

I think most of the time was spent cleaning it up after the dry chemical extinguishers. It got new battery cables, underwood insulation and a couple of other things but I think it was out of the shop in just a few days.

[@banjobenson9348]

The dog is living large, I see WY already had a bunch of snow

[@GuyinWY]

+Banjo Benson yup, we had about 2" when I got back Monday.

[@bigcountry1165]

Huron is just up the road...

[@feelnrite]

That old Ford is talking. Your dog has it made and is sacked out.

[@GuyinWY]

I actually had a header gasket burn out on this trip where it connects to the rest of the exhaust, that may be part of the noise!
