I'm not a huge fan of mobile homes/trailers but that is friggin cool!

I have some Danish blood so the guys/gals at work looked up my Viking name... they have started calling me OTTAR.

That would be my guess. They hit the power lines. I wonder if they can even put out the fire until the power is shut down. I sure would not want to spray water on an electrified truck.
