One citizen's view: The exploding ambulance in Mt. Rainier, MD from a different angle. The play-by-play is worth the price of admission.

Earlier close-up video of exploding ambulance

Early this morning we brought you the close-up view of the burning and exploding ambulance yesterday at 38th Street & Rhode Island Avenue in Mt. Rainier, Maryland. It was provided to us by Bladensburg VFD Chief Randy Kuenzli. While the video above is from a much further distance, across Rhode Island Avenue from the fire, it still provides a unique perspective of the fire and explosion. It gives us the view of the average citizen with a camera.

The commentary is the selling point of this clip. And the man taking the video says he is trying to do just that, "I'm going to call the news. I am going to make money". I don't know if he will be successful, but from my point of view this one is priceless.
