Posted June 1, 2017 Anyone in DTC have their day screwed up because of the fire on I-25? It definitely put damper on my day and it looks like NB 25 is going to stay closed through night so I hope everyone has planned accordingly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 1, 2017 It took me an hour-and-a-half to get from Highlands Ranch to Lowry at 1pm (via side roads). At least I wasn't in the tanker truck! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 1, 2017 The last time I25 was shut down at rush hour, it took me over 3 hours to get home from work....a 25 mile drive from one corner of the city to the other corner 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 1, 2017 A major inconvenience for sure, but fortunately, there were no serious injuries. http://www.9news.com/traffic/video-shows-person-leap-out-of-burning-tanker/444597596 Signature 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It amazed me how many people rubber necked instead of helping and didn't think it was that serious until the drivel crawled out of the truck. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whoever that was was several cars back, I am not totally aware of the rules but not driving by a blazing truck seems like not a good idea. It's not just about even stopping and helping it's about being safe when there are blazing trucks on the highway. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had a customer who was on his way with a $2,000 check for me yesterday afternoon call and tell me that he couldn't get through and wanted to reschedule for next week. Fine, except I need my hooker-bucks today! Crap. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I don't need hooker bucks I need rent. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not just about even stopping and helping it's about being safe when there are blazing trucks on the highway. I believe the rule is you are obligated to provide reasonable assistance to the level of your ability to do so and are largely immune to liability if you try to assist to the level of your ability. That would include trying to get someone out of traffic, call 911, give first aid IF you are certified to do so, etc. But running toward a burning fuel truck - no, that is NOT anything the typical citizen should be expected to do. To those that are brave enough to do so, God bless them. What would I do - hope i would try to get the guy away from truck, etc. But until one is in that situation you do not know how you will react. Realistically, if you have no training relative to fires and hazardous spills you are probably only going to be in the way. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That being said it did take me a total of 15 minutes additional to get there. I just left early. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
