Description

This video of a van fire is from the Minneapolis-St. Paul from their Highway Division. The traffic cams were able to pick this up from two angles. The video shows vividly what can happen with an exploding gas tank. Exploding gas tanks on cars are a RARE thing and most people will never see one in their career. That said, we should NEVER let down our guard! Had the crews been advancing a line on this car, one would hope they had on their FULL protective gear! As it turned out, Fire Rescue and PD arrived about 4 minutes after the video took place. Watch closely the white tractor trailer in the second photo angle; Before and After the explosion.
