That's a sad, sad, sad sight. At least with my ratty car it would just add character.

i have to ask tho how did the trailer brakes cause that? electrical fire or something?

 

[Sam_Fear]

They won't release all the way, heat up and catch grease on fire which in turn causes everything else to catch fire.

Was it the brakes? It was said on another forum the fire dept blamed a blown tire.

I don't think most people realize that a flat tire can cause a fire. Tried to stop a guy last week with a dual axle trailer that had serious smoke coming from his rear passenger side trailer tire that was completely flat. He was really rolling and I couldn't catch him....hope he made it wherever without a fire! sad world we live on where people wont tell you when you have a problem, they just stare at you and go on their way. I didn't have brake lights on my truck a while back and only one guy actually pulled up next to me and told me.....CR

Figured it would get more attention if I mentioned brakes.

Last time I tried to wave a guy down because one of his wheels was leaving a big black streak down the street he flipped me the finger! I just gave a friendly wave and went on my way.

I'll tell others at the gas station or where ever that they have a light out, etc. Usually you get a 'thanks' or 'yeah, I know, thanks', but I've gotten 'so?' and attitude too.

Now I'm starting to ramble of topic like Torchman...
