Melted the whole cab and everything else. It busted out the back glass of the truck and it come into the cab there. Gee, I hope nobody got hurt. Why? That could be really bad. Yeah, I know that there was a cameraman out there. I'm not sure if it'll be on tonight's local news or not. I have no idea. how any of that stuff works, but I did see a cameraman out there and stuff like that. Got a lot of footage myself that (name withheld) took for me. So, I don't know. It was bad, though. I'll tell you that, it was toasty, and I was farther away because I had to help deploy what's called the pond, and it's like a swimming pool that you set it up, and then you fill all the water up from the tankers. about 2,000 gallons and keep it where the fire truck pushes the water through it, sucks the water, the fire truck sucks the water out of the pond. And I was in control of that all day long. I started at about 1230, and I didn't get out of there until about closer to 4 o'clock. But, well, we got it taken care of now, you know. We had to take care of it, re-lit. They got it back out now. I couldn't get through that way to pick (name withheld) up from work, so I had to go around the other way. But it was over there on East River Road.
