Nothing to do but surround and drown. Looks like they did a helluva job with the resources they had.
Looks like they GotRDone. Good job.
Looks like thre wasn’t much of the original tank left after the strike.
Keeping the rest of the tanks cooled and extinguishing the fire all on tanker water … not bad, troops.
The large white tanker brings back memories, I drove one of those Mack DM492 fuel trucks in the Army. The Texas Forest Service refurbishes them into water carriers with 5000 gallon capacity for volunteer fire departments. Fully loaded, they are slow as Christmas coming once a year but they get the job done once they arrive on scene.
Took a lot of water. Yes, I liked that old Mack.
