Hey, Ellipses. If your road doesn't get salted today, this is why:

According to him, the photo was "taken after I had attempted to extinguish the fire with a 20-pound dry chemical fire extinguisher." Washington firefighters were the first to arrive on the scene. |

I'm guessing it was the engine...not the salt. _________________ -amom

I loled after reading the caption:
According to him, the photo was "taken after I had attempted to extinguish the fire with a 20-pound dry chemical fire extinguisher."
I get suspicious when someone feels the need to explain theirself. Then again, maybe he was asked the question. I laughed because I assumed he volunteered the information. _________________

As opposed to: "I took this picture after I hid the gas can and lighter"? _________________ -amom

Bad Day for Salt Trucks
Slick Roads Send Salt Truck 100 Feet Over Cliff
Driver Escapes Before Truck Plunges Down North Huntingdon Hillside
NORTH HUNTINGDON, Pa. -- A salt truck driver narrowly escaped a 100-foot plunge down a hillside in North Huntingdon Township, Westmoreland County, after slick roads sent the vehicle skidding off the roadway.
the driver got out of the truck to inspect the damage. Seconds after the driver left the vehicle, it plunged to the bottom of the hill.
Township work crews used a back hoe to create a dirt road so they could pull out the truck.
the vehicle, valued at $160,000, is a total loss. |
