Is having a REALLY BAD DAY.
Look on youtube for the hoopeston tire recycling plant fire.

Damn thats gnarly. Here's the embed for ya AB.

Why are they even trying to put that bitch out? Stop wasting water, and just let it burn, since that's what it's going to do, anyway.

It'd probably be really bad press if they didn't at least try to do something.

They're not comfy in IL unless they're showing their ignorance. Sorry FF!

That is actually the honest truth. Damned if you do damned if you don't. Being a firefighter is as much a pr job as it is fires and shit. If the taxpayers that "are paying their salary" aren't happy then no one is.

The fire station just left in a convoy. No brainer where they are headed. Poor guys.
They emptied this one and many like it.
This aint over.

That's not ignorant! Hoopston isn't that big, and probably hasn't had much to do for a while. Just keeping busy with a little "live training".

Hope none of those guys get hurt while dealing with this nonsense...

I think this is where something clever about tapatalk should go.

Hope no one was injured, just joking with ya. I'm sure they are more into keeping the fire from spreading as they are putting it out.

Now they're gonna have a pollution tax.

Hoopeston has a plant for canning pumpkins. Van Camps or Stokely...not sure.
If it spreads...cancel Thanksgiving...lol
Or start growing your own pumpkins like me.
