Good thing they had that WALL between the road and the house. It couldn't have been a thousand times worse.

Who signed the hazardous materials manifest?

[@Bush63Master]

Wonder if it was orm-d, can't see any placards. But whatever those drums contained was volatile...maybe separate chems that mixed in accident. Who knows at this point, but they're sure dumping alot of water to dilute the chemicals...not a comforting sign. The fact that authorities are so tightlipped 3 hrs after the accident and no personnel around the wreckage speaks volumes.

@@Bush63Master The drums were cooking off one by one!

​@@mvl9591Sounds that way

[@robertchaffee5662]

Why water? It's a fuel fire for the most part. Should be using foam to knock the flames out and control the fire so hazmat can get in and clean up the fuel leakage. Omg!

[@dfinlen]

My guess is to cool possible ignition sources.

Brenntag is a chemical repackager.

[@davidlenzi3551]

The truck bears the name Brenntag on the box. There are also red danger diamonds and the identifier is not showing on the side in view. From the looks of the truck . It appears the manifest with the Dangerous goods list has been destroyed in the fire. Sadly the driver was killed as a result of the crash. RIP! Deepest condolences to the family.

[@jenigodesa9609]

Why does it say „brenntag“ on the Truck? Its german for „day of burning“?

Dumb flying a DJI Drone that close smh.

[@user-uq4ly6fp6m]

cameras can zoom in gang

[@Bush63Master]

If they could catch the trailer number then they could contact the trucking company to find out what was being transported...they could at least zoom in on the placard holder on the side of the trailer, just after the damage on the pictured side.

@user-uq4ly6fp6m I know I have 6, the person fighting it is not an emergency response team. They're gonna love that Fine in 8-12 weeks. Part 107

IT WAS THE MIGRANTS

[@LindaJonesMD]

Migrant truckers

[@user-gg1mq9nl2f]

Brenntag doesn't hire them, stop spreading false crap. A bus rear ended the truck

[@paulzeigler7616]

Watching this video, the guys operating the nozzle in the back of the white pickup truck are doing a really good job of hitting and cooling down a number of objects in the debris field, but what on earth is up with the other stream of water set up by the local fire department that seems to be fed from a line behind the one white house. They set up that ground nozzle but it's like the firemen just turned and walked away once they set it up. For 30 min that water stream sat there shooting tons of water in just one spot. Actually bouncing off and missing almost everything. And not hitting anything that had been smoldering. Smoking or giving off steam. Did the guy on that line fall asleep? Pass out? Or just walk away and not care that his line was. Doing almost no good. The guy in the White pickup in the roadway did 90% of the work.
