Quincy, Illinois, Fire Chief Steven Salrin plans to draft an ordinance for food truck safety, following an explosion at Big Bro's BBQ. He said that "We don't really inspect food trucks like we should," according to a report by WGEM.

The ordinance aims to ensure that food trucks have the right safety measures to prevent and combat fires.

"I'm going to take my lumps for this one and take the blame for not having this already in effect," Salrin said. "Our primary concern is making sure the public is safe when they're patronizing these food trucks."
