Crews with the Atlantic Fire Department along with the Cass County Sheriff’s Deputies, responded to a report at around 3:25-a.m., of semi tractor-trailer fire. The semi was located at the westbound Interstate 80 Exit ramp.

For a time, it wasn’t clear what the semi was hauling, only that it was  Hazardous Materials. There were concerns that it might be hauling sulfuric acid, but it turns out (according to an official at the fire department), that the trailer contained commercial goods that were considered to be hazardous.

The fire started on a rear tire of the trailer, but the driver of the rig was able to extinguish the flames prior to the arrival of Atlantic Fire crews. No injuries were reported.
