A crew of septic tank workers were heading home after a pump job when they come across a fiery car accident that left the driver dead and the passenger (the driver’s 18yo cousin) trapped inside. Being the resourceful shit pumpers that they were, they brilliantly offered assistance.

Burdett: “We heard the man in there screaming, so we waited for the police to get there, and police showed up. We asked permission to put the fire out, with the pump truck, and they said ‘Go ahead, and do that’ so we backed the pump truck over there, and put the fire out.”

That’s right. 1500 gallons of raw sewage put out the fire and saved the passenger. I would have thought the methane would have made it go off like a Roman candle, but I guess not. The passenger is in the hospital with injuries that would not be life threatening if not for the risk of infection from the raw sewage. Firefighters were also being observed in the hospital because of the infection risk.

This dude’s luck SUCKS. First his cousin gets killed then he gets burnt up in the fire only to have them blast him with more shit than you can shake a stick at. I guess he can be thankful that he’s alive, but I’m not sure I would be.
