Feb. 26 (UPI) — No one was injured, but many potatoes were lost, when a tractor-trailer hauling a load of curly fries caught fire on a Maine highway.
The York Fire Department responded alongside Kittery Fire crews when more than 30 calls came in to 911 reporting a truck on fire on southbound Interstate 95.
“It was quickly determined that the cargo was frozen curly french fries and not a hazardous material,” the York Fire Department said on social media.
The firefighters used about 6,000 gallons of water to extinguish the flames, but the tractor-trailer and its spud snack cargo “were a total loss,” firefighters wrote.
There were no injuries resulting from the fire.
