Seen someone burning trash off I5 near Ridgefield the other day while it was 90° out

[@coldmountainsaga]

Did not know that tire rubber had that property of flammability. I was curious what was burning on the island as I drove by

[@TheCriminalViolin]

I knew rubber and/or Petroleum was involved because it was dark gray to black smoke.

[@samlichtenstein2754]

We saw that smoke while we were going home from the Saturday market.

“Gas in the tires.” So no firefighter ever.
