Wow. Just imagine how much fuel was involved. that makes for one fast, hot fire. I had a Pontiac Fiero burn up with a full tank on Route 495 back in the 80's and the flames were so incredible the police halted traffic across all 4 lanes. I can't imagine what a couple thousand gallons of diesel and several tons of fiberglass would do for heat. That's gotta be why it spread so far so fast. Glad no one was hurt. That's amazing in itself.
