Trukkertone:
most companies policy would or should be "get out and get away, then 999.
but in the heat of the moment (pun intended really),
I would probably use the “BLACK” procedure, having had it hammered into me so many times by our driver trainers…
wouldn’t bother about the number plate though !
So long as you don’t forget the suzie lock!

Wtf is the ‘BLACK procedure’ ? 
It’s a bit racist if I may say so to imply that things are done different according to skin colour…should be ashamed of yourself.
If you have driven a Ford Transcontinental, it sort of becomes second nature to put the fire out again as you may still need the bed that night.
On tankers, they used to suggest you didnt stop and try to run the tyre off the rim, or if it was a brake fire, hoped it would cool down.
This one doesn’t look to be on its nose so unless recovery pulled the cab off already looks like the driver got uncoupled
“The rear wheels of the lorry blew out.” Wonder where they landed…
Fella on m 6 south today. He managed to unhook his Volvo unit pull it clear of his trailer fire
Looked like was an ee plate.
Trailer had reach forklifts in the back.
Fire bridge there now putting it.out
So I’d avoid m6 south aroind j16 for a while
