Rain Fire & Boat

Introducing the Rockford version of Earth Wind and Fire: Rain Fire and Boat.

A train carrying ethanol derailed in Rockford, Illinois, which makes a big, big fire. The suspected cause of the derailment is the City of Rockford's utter inability to deal with rain. (Reports suggest that the wreck may have been caused by washed-out track.) Every time there is a heavy rainfall, flooding occurs, leading to mass chaos of one form or another. This is the first time, to my knowledge, that it has led to a flaming inferno.

You really must watch this video. It's not professional, by any means, and the beginning includes some of the worst footage you have ever seen. But, you must watch it anyway.



Did you notice the fire truck that brought a boat to the fire? I wonder what they were planning on doing with that. Being a firefighter really must be more fun than I thought.
