So we get a call at Firehall 18 at 5 this morning for a vehicle fire on Deerfoot and 64th.
Dispatch tells me it is a semi and I ask for another Engine in case it's fully involved.
We turn south on Deerfoot and I see the semi,no smoke or fire,but there was oil everywhere.

I specifically told our dispatch there was no fire and I cancelled the other Engine.The driver was able to limp the truck off deerfoot before it shut down on the McKnight turn off.

So I'm driving home and I hear on the radio there was a semi on fire at Deerfoot and 64th.I know the media listens to our scanners but wtf?? Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story I guess.
