These fireman are using water and not much like pissing on a volcano, also three of the tank cars are in pool fire and could BLEVE and the one on its side has the Pressure Relief Valve pointing right at the two pumpers. Pull the rest of the cars off the siding that are on the rail and let it burn out water need is over 500 gallons per minute on each car to cool them down and they do not have near engouhg water and need ARFF foam to put out a fire best way to handle ethanol fire is to let it burn out. Fire crew need to back off and let it burn out.
