4:30 am on a weekday. The fire department pager goes off. Jump out of bed, heart racing, throw on clothes and head out the door. Several trucks have already left the department. I proceed on in my pv (personal vehicle). Heading north on highway 80 just passed the Gonzales county line an 18-wheeler tractor is fully engulfed. Dale, Nick and Bob are all bunkered up and working the fire. It is one of the most spectacular things I have ever seen. I guess with all the diesel fuel once it got going it really burned!
At one point when the shot water at it, it actually flared up! Man, there was hardly anything left.
