Mayhem

You may not know him by name, but he stands for Mayhem on the All State Insurance commercials. His real name is Dean Winters. Well, with that, we had a run earlier today that could have been portrayed in one of those commercials. Was quite unique.

Call for a car fire comes in, on southbound I43. As we enter off of Becher, we notice a large plume of smoke up ahead. We pull up and a black four door midsized sedan is burning up pretty good. We use the trash line off the front and take care of business. Moments later, the fire is out. But here's the funny part.

In front of the drivers car was a truck with a trailer that looked like someone was planning on moving. What had happened is a mattress fell off the trailer and got wedged underneath the front wheels of the sedan and caught fire. Mayhem commercial first came to mind when I heard of this. And better yet, the car was a rental. Which the driver actually did take out the additional insurance.

Like many other runs we go on, you just can't make up this stuff. Here's hoping for a quiet evening.
