Carhauler Accident Breakdown of a Tire Fire

A tire fire on a carhauler, though not as commonplace as other accident causes, is still something to take seriously and prepare for. I pulled this photo from a recent  Lake Johanna Carhauler fire in Minnesota and focused in on what appears to be the apex area of the fire

SAN FRANCISCO - APRIL 29: A worker wears a Go...properly inflated tires and regular inspections of the tires, brakes, and axles could be the difference between a safe journey and disaster for the carhauler 




According to insurance sources a Tire Fire like the one on this carhauler occured due to heat buildup in the the brakes or the axle, most likely malfunctioning, when the car slowed down or stopped. The heat buildup around the tire was great enough to get this carhauler nightmare blazing. Tire pressure can also be a factor in these sort of carhauling accidents.
