| Tractor Trailer Fire on the "I" |
|
November 4, 2008-
At 0440 hours, Company 15 was dispatched to
Interstate 81 southbound in the area of mile marker
23 1/2, which is in Southampton township Franklin
county, for a reported tractor trailer accident with
fire. Engine 15-1 and 15-2 arrived to find two
tractors involved with heavy fire throughout the one
tractor trailer. The fire was knocked down.
It was determined that the one tractor trailer was
attempting to pass another when a tire blew causing
him to strike another tractor trailer, cross the
median and two southbound lanes, and burst into
flames. Both drivers self extricated
themselves and amazingly were not injured. The
interstate remained closed throughout the morning
rush hour causing major traffic backlogs in the
area. Company 15 returned to service. |
