I wonder what sequence of events lead up to that. They look just a little to proud to be in such a photo.
There goes the neighborhood.

They're going to need a BIG tow truck to pull that back over.

"I have a dream. It's not a big dream, it's just a little dream. My dream — and I hope you don't find this too crazy — is that I would like the people of this community to feel that if, God forbid, there were a fire, calling the fire department would actually be a wise thing to do. You can't have people, if their houses are burning down, saying, 'Whatever you do, don't call the fire department!' That would be bad."

I guess in a situation you would have to see the funny side and pose for a photo with it. It said in the article that the truck weighed 112 tons empty, so someone would have to use a bit of muscle.
On the same website I found these pictures -

It would be a coal seem on fire and they would be trying to shovel the burning coal out away from the unburnt stuff, thus saving millions of dollars.
"There are only two things that i know are infinite, the universe and human stupidity. And im not so sure about the former."
For all the life of me, i cant see a firefighter going to hell. At least not for very long. We would end up putting out all the fires and annoying the devil too much.

Uh Huh...............
I called Mrs. H. in from the kitchen to look at the photos, and mentioned the time she was heading out of an Asphalt Plant and the hot asphalt shifted on the truck. She had a interesting trip to the job with 19 tons of Surface Mix leaning hard to starboard. With that, I'm outta here, gotta go look for breakfast elsewhere...................

Or maybe as they're clocking out that afternoon,"hey,are you getting fired?That's the rumor!".
That especially works well on Friday when he's going on vacation next week.

Just adding to the mayhem
This pic came as part of a series. I don't know how old they are, but if you know what a CAT D8 is, you'll really appreciate this:
