Praying for the Drivers family! That person woke up and went to work not knowing this would happen. We need to be thankful every moment we get because you never know what can happen.

Caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) is non-flammable and non-combustible. Something else on that truck (fuel) or elsewhere (propane / natural gas leak) caused the explosion.
