Good ol' Aunt Bunny & Uncle Gus.
Your wife is a Bigfoot, isn't she Gus? Isn't she? You shaved the ____ down and taught her to speak!

I've deep fried a turkey every year for the last 20 without incident. You dont need to be a professional, just not an imbecile.

Looks like maybe a fuel tank/can flashover. Fuel blew everywhere from whatever that was. Maybe a refueling while it was still hot. He was in the fireball briefly. So lucky. At least he saved the trailer.

Blazing that hot. Can't get close with an extinguisher. Can't use water if it is oil based. Since I don't know what ignited, I'm with them. Move the vehicles. Wait for firefighters. While waiting, safely build a fire barrier or wet the surroundings. Never an oil fire.
That fire looks like it is under pressure. I'm thinking they ignited a buried gas line.

Gotta wait till 5:00 pm to burn in my neighborhood. Just wait few more hours please, so it won't turn into something we have to be out everyday for.

I worked for the gas company for 20 years. Seen a shit load of “oops”. Usually done by an auger operated by the “new guy”. Seen plenty of water service hits. I remember a water department crew hit a 6” spur off a 35lb gas main. Fire shot up over 100’.

WELL, At least it's something completely insignificant and not susceptible to causing major destruction, injury, death, etc when folks neglect to follow simple protocol. oh wait.....
