A hay truck spontaneously caught fire in the middle of the street. It was wild! My co-workers heard the tires on the truck explode and a lot of the businesses near there got full of smoke from the fire.

Always the hay trucks, never the weed trucks.

We’re alright! It was a crazy morning for sure. Very thankful for the Stowe FD’s quick response and minimalising the damage to the building next to it

When hay gets wet it allows bacteria to grow. This growth of new life creates just enough heat to combust the hay. It’s actually pretty common.

I heard the driver flicked a ciggie butt out the window and that's what lit the hay. It's third hand information so do what you want with it.
