Derrepente se escuchó una explosión, pero para ese momento ya venian las unidades de bomberos y policias, rapidamente la lumbre agarró fuerza en el motor y en todo el tractor, afortunadamente Dios hizo el milagro de que no agarran las bombas de gasolina, lo cual esto hubiera sido una enorme tragedia para toda esta área.
Bomberos armandose de valor se acercaron a la unidad y empezaron a combatir el fuego.
Como siempre los policias acudieron a cubrir la calle de Del Rio Blvd., cerraron desde el arroyo del Seco Creek desde el Loop y Del Rio Blvd. tomando precauciones por si acaso el incendio se perdía.
Rápidamente evacuaron a las personas que estaban en restaurante McDonald’s, en el Valley Mart, y en Burger King.
Minutos mas tarde los bomberos lograron controlar el incendio y todo quedó en un gran susto y gracias a Dios que no hubo una explosión mayor.
Acudieron todas las unidades del departamento de bomberos para brindar una mejor asistencia y dar seguridad a todo el área.
