- Wow from the look of those huge red flames that looks like a lot more than just a grease fire in the kitchen! Wonder if the propane fill tank went up too.
- Just another 1/2 mile or less N on ST RD 37 there is a Pilot.

The article said that Pilot owns all 3 truck stops at that intersection.- I've been very disappointed in Flying J since Pilot took them over after their bankruptcy. While I am sad that there will be a few folks out of work in south Indianapolis, I can't say I shed tears for the company as a whole. Some of the company high mucky-mucks are being prosecuted for cheating truckers and RVers out of earned rebates. I also miss the old Flying J restaurants, their breakfasts were spectacular and reasonably priced. Not the same with a Denny's.

Fortunately not, I don't see how the firefighters kept it from exploding. Great job, firefighters! Not not to mention the courage to fight the fire with so many chances for explosion.W4RLR wrote:

Oh my, no RV'ers were cheated out of anything in the high volume fuel users rebate debacle, only participating trucking companies. The former PFJ executives being prosecuted were quickly removed from the company in a house cleaning that started as soon as the top executives became aware of the issue and those involved. Court records have shown pretty conclusively that there was a concerted effort to hide the illegal activity from top management including the CFO.- Given the time frame I doubt the propane tanks in the kitchen went up, they may have vented, but i doubt they went "boom" the fire did not burn long enough.
That said there are multiple fuel sources in a building like that and though not many go BOOM, they do make a nice big fire.. One that can be seen for miles.
Story of a 9-1-1 call I got from a restaurant manager (The Flaming Embers, 8 Mile, Detroit), Fire was already there but as he got closer and closer he said "it looks like it's close to where I work" ... It was.. trust me, It was, very close to where he used to work. Like this one, nobody injured. rockhillmanor wrote:
I doubt it, the propane fill station is a good distance from the building, slightly closer to the street than the car gas pumps.
