'The things you see at work:' Video shows flaming trash dumped at fire department

LYNCHBURG, Va. (WSET) — "The things you see at work."

That's what Hailee Wood said about a hot and potentially smelly sight right across the way from Steph's Bubbles and Bows Pet Grooming & Boutique in Forest, Virginia.

"You know when they say dumpster fire? This is a dumpster fire," one woman said.

A video, which was provided by Wood via ChimeIn, shows a dumpster truck that appears to have dumped out a large pile of flaming trash on the pavement in front of the Brookville-Timberlake Volunteer Fire Department.

"We and the doggies had a very interesting morning," Wood shared.

The video was shared on the Living in Lynchburg Facebook page. It amassed a variety of laugh-inducing comments.

If you bring the fire to the fire department, they won’t be able to play with the woo woo lights and go honk honk. On the other hand, it’s a short commute," Mike Jackson said.

First time I've ever seen anyone deliver a fire to the firehouse," Vickie Wade said.

WSET is working to learn exactly what happened to warrant a quick dumping of the trash.
