I-80 keeping local firefighters busy as semi goes up in flames

Posted

A semi-truck cab burns Thursday morning at mile marker 19 on Interstate 80. Local firefighters responded and extinguished the blaze quickly.  WYDOT sent notification at 10:13 a.m. that the righthand lane of eastbound I-80 was blocked, then closed all eastbound lanes at 10:22. No injuries were reported from the fire and the Wyoming Highway Patrol is investigating the incident. First responders have handled several incidents along I-80 in the past couple of weeks. A Facebook post by Uinta County Fire and Ambulance reads, “I-80 continues to be a busy place for us...” (COURTESY PHOTOS/Uinta County Fire and Ambulance)
