I was much bemused to come across this unusual scene! A Scania with lowloader trailer backed up to Central Fire Station, winching 205 out with the help of Ace Towing 01. A slightly more leisurely departure than 205 is accustomed to! Fire Police were there to keep traffic flowing, as Pitt Street’s four lanes were narrowed to one at the intersection with Greys Ave. To add to the occasion, Auckland 207 and 206 were called out mid-proceedings, putting a brief halt on things… I hope its nothing serious, though it’s nice to see (and hear) the Spartan around for a change!

***Some cursing on video*** While shooting some ENG/stock footage last night of a tank battery fire near Lamesa, TX that was ignited by lightning, an explosion took place that sent a foot and half long, 4″ diameter pipe valve from 200 yards away arcing directly into the front of my storm chase vehicle causing extensive damage. This is closer than you EVER want to be to an explosion! Firefighters from Lamesa and Andrews, TX fought to keep the fire down and the tanks cooled off for an hour before it finally exploded. Miraculously, all managed to escape without injury!
