Around 9 am on August 25th, I heard Sullivan Fire Department dispatched to a semi trailer fire on EB I-44 at the 227 mile marker, so I took the North Service Road and spotted heavy brown and white smoke from a mile away….\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and was pulling up to park seconds later, Sullivan Firefighters were working the fire and struck a first alarm, summoning St Clair Fire Department to the scene as well…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

…and I spotted a good friend of mine, Michael Richardson with Franklin County Sheriffs Office, on the scene assisting with traffic control as well…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Firefighters were shorthanded but doing great work at the scene, they were having a difficult time getting into the trailer to the seat of the fire, so Jacob Dace started cutting his way into the trailer with the K12 saw….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and soon firefighters were again attacking the fire….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

…and about 15 min later, additional Sullivan firefighters arrived with manpower and water, and St Clair arrived as well….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

…and the fire inside the trailer flared up once again….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sullivan Fire Chief Eric called for Chuck`s Towing to respond and Chuck`s son Louis, showed up with their newest fleet wrecker and assisted with removal of the load of freight to assist in fire extinguishment…Louis is quite talented in removing freight and vehicles both…<\/p>\n
