The flames were so intense that number 5 service was stopped due between East 180th Street and Eastchester-Dyre Avenue.
A truck carrying propane and epoxy went up in flames in the Bronx and the blaze was so intense that some subway service was disrupted.Newscopter 7 was over the scene in Eastchester that showed the charred truck. Citizen App video captured the flames raging as the fire spread to several parked cars.
"We were on an all-hands assignment which is about 60 fire and EMS personnel, four hose lines total which is pretty unique and one of the hose lines happened to be a foam hose line, which we use for flammable liquids due to the epoxy which doesn't get done very often, so it was a pretty unique fire," said Deputy Chief Ken Scanlon, FDNY.
The box truck is owned by Statewide Striping Corporation, a pavement marking installer based in Parsippany, New Jersey. Bob Wilson, co-owner of Statewide Striping Corporation, said the truck was heading to a "job" but would not go into specifics.
