I would love to know how there are going to get the cars on the back of the truck off? I would bet the fire took the hydraulics out on the trailer? So how to raise, lower or tilt to get them off. Also the driver has the keys in the cab of the truck for all of the cars? Did they burn up in the fire?

Cars on the back wont be saved I'm sure do to the radiant heat damage. With the bodies being composite and paint probably bubbled it a total loss. I did 30 years in the fire dept and ran on a couple of these and nothing gets saved, a single car fire is a mess to put out, sometimes the tractor unhooks and it is saved.
