Hey fellas thanks for the Add!! This YouTube video has brought me to your forum! Yes that’s right! I’m the guy who posted the video!
This fire happened on the trans Canada highway outside Norris arm Newfoundland. This video was Taken close to the main off-ramp to the trans Canada highway so it was far from the “middle of nowhere”. Most places on the island are pretty rural so when you leave a community it’s usually a long while before you see any other community’s or anything at all besides more highway.
It may look like there is no one else in the video but one lane of the highway was closed and they were only letting one lane pass at a time, there was actually a massive line of other vehicles behind the truck recording this video and you can actually see their lights in the rear view mirror in the video.
This lightning burned for hours and they had to bury the remains of the vehicle to get it to stop burning.
With regards to the “fireman’s jacket” the people who are in the truck recording this video are heavy duty mechanics who work outdoors in hi-vis gear on the regular, and that jacket is far from a fireman’s jacket. They knew it was a “battery operated truck” because someone there (probably a first responder) had told them it was a EV fire.
From what I know The owners are safe and called the fire department, being outside of town first responders showed up quick and then an advisory’s was posted online to let others know there was a fire on the main highway.
I’m assuming most of you own lightnings & i hope that something like this never happens to any of you, but to say this is “staged” is a bit far fetched. I have nothing against EV’s but I wanted to clear the air that this actually happened, and was a real emergency.
If any of you are wondering why I posted the video to begin with, it was simply because I thought my guys reaction was hilarious.
I wish you all the best.
