Warm Springs Ore fire caused by RVer

I use my monitor like a rear view mirror, I include it in my scans. I think I would notice that the trailer/toad is not rolling right.

If you look closely at the picture it does, just need to use!!!!

Who has time to look in the mirrors and or rear view monitor ????

Well it looks like a nice coach anyway...

So, 5,000 acres burned because the driver was too stupid or too stubborn to pull over...

"Idjit" is being overly kind.

I am sure the driver feels terrible. Probley did not know he had a problem. A sobering reminder to keep our tires in top shape.

Ok, that does put him clearly in the "Ijut" category!

"Ignoring a flat"? Or not even aware that they had a flat. With that size DP and that small of a trailer, it's entirely likely that didn't even notice any extra drag. A bit more attention to the mirrors and/or rear view monitor might have helped though.

X2!

That was local news here, looked like tire, wheel, and hub ground flat!!! Laid sparks for like 26 miles, really didn't look in passenger side mirror that whole time!!
