  1. God, I pray for those Firefighters health.

  2. their members were injured? Bet that hurt

  3. Blast caused the transformer to let the magic smoke out so we know fixing it will be close to impossible.

  4. I like how there's not a single comment here talking about how dangerous natural gas is for vehicles.

    God forbid if this was an electric truck everybody would have a giant fit but you know what if this was an electric truck those seven firefighters wouldn't have been injured.

  9. Seems like what ever they come up with for alternative fuel isn’t worth risk !Hurt firefighters not cool

  10. Explosions are very dangerous and natural gas can be just as much.

    I wish your Men good health and a speedy recovery

  11. Cut the useless police budgets and give these firefighters some more budget for training.

  12. Our prayers are with all the firefighters. πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»

  13. NBC chicago fire wouldve even known how to handle this but the real actual fire department doesnt???

    Aliens

  14. dudes still wearing their helmets while doing the press conference. If i was a fireman i would wear that thing all the time also, just for the ladies

  15. BIG EVENT
    It came to pass and yet unfolded elsewhere πŸ‘€ re: California

  16. We pray. Could this have been avoided with better knowledge of the vehicle beforehand?

  17. 😒 Prayers being sent.

  18. Prayers to the firefighters and quick recovery πŸ™

  19. Prayers to my brothers wishing for a speedy recovery for them all❀

  20. Nothing but love for firefighters and EMS. True public servants and heroes.

  21. Should have been trained in how to spot the dangers of a boiling liquid expanding vapour explosion or bleve and stayed a good distance away or had adequate shielding from potential explosion

  22. Sending prayers to firefighters

  23. No fatalities though, right?
