Typical scene during rush hour. A traffic jam with rows of cars. Shallow depth of field.

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Random strangers sitting in traffic jam save highway from catching fire

Next time you are sitting in stopped traffic on 95 or The Merritt you are no doubt going to think of this story.

While people we sitting stopped in their cars on a major road in Oregon last Sunday, a small brush fire broke out on the side of the road in the grass. That’s when people in their cars sprung into action and started drenching the flames with any water bottles they had in their vehicles. Smart move! It worked, and the fire got put out prevented what could have been a pretty big disaster.

Next time your stuck in traffic make sure you’re aware of your surroundings.
