Recycling Truck Catches Fire
- last year
Occurred on November 7, 2022 / Fort Worth, Texas, USA
: "A Texas homeowner noticed the neighborhood recycling truck roll up to their curb on fire. The driver had already tried using an extinguisher, but the fire persisted. Shortly after arriving, the compacting unit located on top of the truck exploded, and began shooting pressurized propane out the sides, like the sound of a jet engine. The fire was likely fueled by a flammable non-recyclable object. The homeowner and driver both called the fire department. This video was taken minutes after the explosion."
