A lorry carrying 10 tonnes of cheese was transformed into a giant mobile fondue by a fire.xiao84.com

Firefighters in west Wales fought the major blaze for 90 minutes as the mountain of cheese dripped on to the main road. The incident happened on the A44 between Lovesgrove Flats and Glanrafon, about five miles outside Aberystwyth. The lorry was pulling a fully- laden trailer of cheese weighing a combined 19 tonnes when the fire broke out.

Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus were called in and police were forced to close the road for up to five hours. "The lorry and its trailer were severely damaged in the fire and burning blocks of cheese had to be removed on to the road," a Mid and West Wales Fire Brigade spokesman said.

A major clean-up operation was later launched by Ceredigion County Council's highways department. "All the jokes in the office today have been about toasted cheese and fondue," a highways department spokeswoman said.

奶酪变干酪

一辆载着10吨奶酪的卡车在英国西威尔士州的阿贝斯威斯附近发生交通事故，大火烧起来，硬是把整整10吨的奶酪烤成了一个巨大的“干酪”。

消防人员戴着氧气罩赶到现场，花了90分钟才基本把火扑灭。车上的奶酪被大火融化后，滴落在马路上。警察将事故现场封锁了整整5个小时，用于清理路面。“今天，办公室里一整天都在谈论关于被烤焦的奶酪的笑话呢。”一位公路部门的发言人说。
