Top Loader Fire Video

By stberge | July 23, 2010

Tires exploding during top loader fire in the Port of Long Beach on 07-20-10. Long Beach Engine 24, Engine 3 and BC1 responded.  This video was shot by an amateur photographer who was positioned some distance away from firefighters operating on scene.  It shows the extreme amount of energy that can be released when a tire fails on one of these types of vehicles.
