丙烷卡车火灾块高速公路几小时
A runaway tractor-trailer truck, containing 4,300 gallons of propane, was deliberately ditched by the driver, Jerome Gilboy, of Passaic, N. J. The crash wrecked the tractor part of the combination, which was completely destroyed by fire resulting from ignition of gasoline in the tank of the truck-tractor. The heat from the burning gasoline raised the pressure inside the LP trailer and the safety valves opened, releasing gas, which immediately caught fire and burned with a spectacular blow torch type flame to a height of 75 ft. As the pressure was reduced, the safety valves would close and flames would die down. The action was repeated over and over for 3 1/2 hours, or until the tanks were cooled to a point where LP gas pressure was below the safety margin.
原来的警报是由杰维斯F.eh的三辆卡车回答，来自Greenville Township F.D的Port Port Jervis F.eh，Pumper和一辆油轮。和MT.软管公司的散文。在第一个反应中，由于该地区的水爆炸和缺水的可能性，没有努力熄灭火灾。没有严重的曝光，尽管森林的一部分被烧毁，但巷道的混凝土被粉碎，烧焦了电话线。所有原版卡车都在中午返回宿舍，只留下了现场的N. Y.州警察。
