This incident isn’t really funny, but has inspired some good comments.

Like the first sentence in this piece, Missouri big rig fire burns 40,000 pounds of ribeyes, which begins, “A tractor-trailer fire in Missouri gives new meaning to well done.”

 

The Doolittle Rural Fire Department that responded to the fire posted on their Facebook page:

“Nothing says ‘welcome to the fire service’ like sending the probie to put out 40,000 pounds of flaming ribeye. Probationary Firefighter Jenna Ulrich is the only vegan on our department——so naturally, her very first fire involved a tractor trailer carrying 40,000 pounds of ribeye steak.”

 

Of course there was much speculation in the comments on what it smelled like!

I agree that the incident itself isn't funny, but this bit breaks me up!
