Firefighters Dispatched to Vehicle Fire
Updated: Aug 16
Yesterday at 4:05 p.m. Boone County Fire Protection District Firefighters were dispatched to north highway 63 northbound and Lake Road for a vehicle fire. Units arrived on scene to find a trailer hauling large round hay bales with heavy fire evolvement.
Firefighters were able to quickly contain the fire to just the trailer and hay, saving the truck. With help from some local farmers and construction crews in the area, firefighters were able to extinguish the hay bales and clear the roadway in just under 5 hours. Unfortunately the trailer and hay were considered a total loss.
Firefighters also extinguished two small natural cover fires along highway 63 northbound that were caused by this incident.
1 Fire Engines, 2 Tanker, and one Brush Truck responded from 3 stations with 20 firefighters. No injuries were reported.
