Van fire near U.S. 1
RESULT THE UTILITY LINES CAME
DOWN . SO THAT IS WHY THAT AREA
WAS WITHOUT POWER BUT THE CREWS
WERE STILL HAVING TO WORK IN
REALLY COLD TEMPERATURES .
>>> WHEN LAST WE LEFT ADAM
OWENS UP ON 540 NEAR TRIANGLE
TOWN CENTER.
THERE IT WAS A BIG PLUME OF
SMOKE BEHIND YOU, ADAM, WHAT
ARE YOU SEEING THERE NOW .
>> ACTUALLY IF YOU LOOK AT A
SHOT HERE . YOU CAN SEE WHAT
WAS ON FIRE.
IT LOOKS LIKE A PASSENGER VAN
ON ONE OF THE RAMPS AND IT IS
COMPLETELY GONE.
WE WERE SEEING A LOT OF BLACK
SMOKE, THIS THING MUST'VE GONE
UP FAST . NOT EXACTLY SURE WHAT
LED TO ALL OF THIS.
FIREFIGHTERS WERE ABLE TO PUT
THE FIRE OUT BUT YOU CAN STILL
SEE THE SMOKING FROM THE
INSIDE, PARTICULARLY IN THE
BACK AREA . AS WE ARE SPEAKING,
THEY ARE ABOUT TO PULL THIS
OUT.
FIRST RESPONDERS, EMERGENCY
WORKERS, THEY HAVE BEEN
EXTREMELY BUSY TODAY.
WORKING A NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS,
PARTICULARLY ON THESE RAISED
AREAS . YOU CAN SEE IT PLAY OUT
IN FRONT OF YOU LIVE.
AGAIN WE ARE GOING TO WORK TO
TRY AND GET INFORMATION ON
EXACTLY WHAT LED TO THIS FIRE
BUT WE ARE COVERING FOR
SEPARATE ACCIDENTS . FOR CARS
HAVE SPUN OUT . WE SAW THESE
FLAMES OF SMOKE START TO BILLOW
OVER THE TOP OF THE TREE, THE
OPPOSITE SIDE OF 540 WE ARE
NEAR U.S. ONE.
THE FIREFIGHTER WE ARE
INTERVIEWING AT THE TEAM HAD TO
LEAVE US IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE HE
SAID THERE WAS A CAR FIRE, WHEN
HE NEEDED TO INVESTIGATE.
SO WE'RE GOING TO TRY AND GET
TO THE BOTTOM OF HOW THIS
HAPPENED, WE ARE LITERALLY
JUMPING FROM ONE EMERGENCY TO
ANOTHER, BE SAFE OUT THERE .
>> I CAN HEAR THE URGENCY IN
