MORGAN COUNTY, Utah, Oct. 14, 2024 (Gephardt Daily) — Emergency responders from five agencies responded to Interstate 84 Sunday after a westbound semi caught fire by the east rest area.
“Trailer axle overheated, blew out, and set the tires on fire,” says a statement issued by Mountain Green Fire, the lead agency.
“Mountain Green Engine 131 provided fire attack, Weber Fire District E64 assisted in gaining access inside the trailer to ensure no fire burned into the contents.
South Ogden Fire Department Engine 82 blocked the scene for safety. Morgan County Sheriff’s Office, Morgan Utah, and Utah Highway Patrol also assisted.”
The trailer contents, spinach seeds, did not appear to be damaged, the agency said.
It added, playfully, that “Sunday dinner was late today for our volunteer firefighters and assisting fire companies.”
