Where Was Jason?

           

While going for a walk last night, Wendy and I saw this one truck pulling another truck with a cable. All of a sudden we saw a flame start under the rear truck, the driver jumped out and started beating it with a blanket. Neither of us are sure exactly what happened after that but the gas line caught fire and the whole truck went up really fast in flames. He had a bucket sitting by his truck so I grabbed it and went to the river to get water, but it was way too late. We both said if only our friend Jason Vanderzanden of the Vancouver fire department was here he could put this out.

 Here is the truck just getting started. We both felt at this point smoke damage would be bad but still a small possibility of putting it out.

  

Game over. Only the St. Petersburg fire dept. could save this situation 

 This is for our buddy Jason so he can see what a Russian fire rig looks like. The model is kamaz.

It took 12 minutes from the time of call to their time of arrival. We felt like that was a really good response time. It is most likely slow compared to Vancouver fire dept. 

We are having a great time in St.Petersburg, heading home tomorrow.
