A $200,000 brand new truck going up in smoke! That's alright WM will not worry about it. It will burn up before dumping the load. But I guess the fire crew took care of that! Now you can think black instead of green!

That hump on top of the compactor box on fire contains natural gas cylinders under 3,000psi of pressure. Can you say boom?
