Apparently, the Doolittle Rural Fire Protection District did little... 40,000 pounds of ribeye steaks destroyed in tractor-trailer fire on I-44 A tractor-trailer carrying 40,000 pounds of ribeye steaks caught fire Monday morning on Interstate 44. According to the Doolittle Rural Fire Protection District, firefighters responded Monday morning to a tractor-trailer fire near mile marker 174 on eastbound I-44. The tractor-trailer was carrying the ribeye steaks, and according to the fire department, the steaks were "all a total loss." The eastbound lanes of I-44 were closed temporarily while the crews responded to the fire. The lanes have since reopened. There is no word on what caused the fire. https://www.msn.com/en-us/weat...844c239d121077&ei=12 "Some things are apparent.

Fuel, oxygen, and a spark in the same place at the same time. Nice is overrated "It's every freedom-loving individual's duty to lie to the government." Airsoftguy, June 29, 2018 | |||

At least it didn't happen on the hill that leads into Scranton Pennsylvania. ________________________________________________________ It is long past time for a Convention of States. The Founding Fathers gave us this tool to fix an out of control government and we need to use it. | |||

Seems to be happening more and more with big loads of food, are the trucks not being maintained or is this untrained drivers? That's a huge grease fire and they probably didn't want to spray with water because that's not what you do with grease fires, it just spreads it. | |||

Is that 40,000 pounds before or after cooking? | |||

Great, so the price of beef is going up even more... NRA Life Member Steak: Rare. Coffee: Black. Bourbon: Neat. | |||

Let's see, $20/lb x 40,000lbs; cross cancel the lb leaves $ as the remaining units; 2 times 4 is 8 tack on five 0s after the 8 and we are left with $800,000. | |||

I'd bet some made it into a cooler and on the grill later that night... "Some things are apparent.

Most likely a wheel end fire from the looks of it. Not uncommon with trailers as they don't get the best maintenance. Working with trailers is always a shit show as they are worn completely out and need rebuilt from the ground up. Which no one spends the money on so you get a bunch of cobbled together shit running down the road. | |||
