I was the third person on the scene. A bedliner flew off a pickup trucking starting a reaction of both biker and semi truck. The result was a collision.. The semi caught on fire bad, so much that a couple times we were drowned with black smoke where we were taking care of the motorcycle rider. There were a couple explosions as well, assuming from diesel fuel igniting. After the explosions you did not so much see huge flames or anything, all you could see was black smoke... But you could sure feel the heat off it...

I left the direct area after the first FHP, Fire, and EMT's showed up...

One of those silly road ranger guys got out with a fire ext. and started walking toward the semi fire. I stopped him saying "You dont wanna go near that fire with that thing." It was just way to big, and he would have just gotten hurt... Just need to get things far away....

Anyways, curious if anyone else was there...

 

A fire extinquisher is a nice thought, but from the looks of it, that fire was 2000-3000 degrees so he'd have been dead before he got close enough to use it...
