Video: Tanker Fire and THAT GUY W/O PPE too Close to the Fire

Why doesn’t someone tell this guy to put on full PPE, and that there is no need for him to be that close to the fire?

Obviously these guys have their hands full. I don’t see a tanker shuttle, but I am guessing they have one going on.

All in all, the did a pretty good job without the benefit of foam. Except for THAT GUY…

According to the video by :

Just a few minutes after 930AM Liberty, Blossburg, Morris, Mansfield and Wellsboro fire departments were dispatched to a motor vehicle accident. Black smoke could be seen for miles as firemen headed South on the new Rt 15 highway. Both Southbound and Northbound lanes of traffice were closed down. All traffice was directed to old route 15 as firemen battled the stubborn fire. Billowing flames were traveling approxiamately 200 feet or more into the air as fire trucks arrived on scene.

Later in the afternoon traffic was open for vehicles traveling South While the all North bound traffic was still being detored at the Blossburg Exit to take the old Rt 15 towards Williamsport.
