As if traffic's not bad enough in Stowe they decide to have a street festival.

I think it's a truck that was carrying hay. There are pictures on Facebook

Please someone explain the inferno....Is it real? is fake? is it a tourist's mind exploding from the "beauty" of Stowe? LOL but seriously what is going on?

I hope all those drivers didn't have any plans for the rest of the afternoon.

A hay truck spontaneously caught fire in the middle of the street. It was wild! My co-workers heard the tires on the truck explode and a lot of the businesses near there got full of smoke from the fire.

I like that dude in the background who looks like he's casually leaning up against the wall with his feet crossed, checking it out 20 feet away. Dude's hardcore.

Second truck in a little over a week I've seen in flames in the area, last Monday I drove past one in the rest stop right before Waterbury

Nah, you're clearly not a mechanic and/or must've not been paying attention during the last hurricane... When an EV touches water with salt in it, a chemical reaction causes it to explode... And they take 5x more water to extinguish and they also can reignite days after.... anyone with any engineering experience or basic understanding knows that EV's are nothing but a dangerous planet killing spy device.

That looks terrible. I hope everyone’s ok. And I see it was a hay truck - I hope whatever animals needed that hay can get some somewhere else.

Is that an oxygen truck in the foreground? Or just heating oil?

Unrelated (I hope), but wasn't there a spate of arson incidents in the Stowe area 1-2 years ago? Whatever came of that?

I know it’s cold out, but I think this is taking cabin heating too far.

Saw a semi truck fire 2 weeks ago heading west on 89. Weird.

That stretch of road isn’t zoned for truck fires.

Wild photo. I assume that is not normally there?

Well at least the truck won't have to pay for parking.

Hope everyone is ok.

I passed this when it had pretty much just started I think. Dropped off my first delivery and in the few minutes that took it went from some flames to smoke billowing.

Wish I had remembered I had a fire extinguisher when I first saw it.

Someone's feedstore business or farm just took a pretty big hit. I hope they have the useful kind of insurance. :(

If that's in Stowe, why does the road sign say "(left arrow) Stowe 7"?

Edit: punctuation

This is how Vermont terrorists do it. A hay truck. Wait till you get a load of our exploding flannel underwear and our jugs of Molotov Maple Syrup.

Every one in a million times that someone doesn’t turn when it’s their turn at a three-way stop, they explode.
