The responders said the tanker released whatever flammable liquid it was carrying and the fire spread to the sewer system as well. So the fire wasn’t contained to one area. Looks like the fire spread in two directions and the smoke was coming out opposite ends of the overpass.
Look at this photo from the article. Looks like 2 separate fires. Smoke rising from 2 different spots.
