Semi fire spreads to three others at Northern Colorado truck stop
Four semi trucks were engulfed by flames at a Northern Colorado truck stop on Wednesday night. Miraculously, no injuries were reported in the fire.
According to the Weld County Sheriff's Office, someone called 911 just before 10 p.m. about a commercial vehicle fire at a truck stop along Colorado Highway 119 just west of I-25.
Mountain View Fire Rescue crews said when Engine 201 arrived on the scene, they found four semi-tractors on fire, with three of them engulfed. They called in additional resources, including those from Frederick Firestone Fire.
MVFR said it took about 20 minutes for firefighters to get the flames under control, which included battling explosions from gas tanks and tires.
The fire was considered out by 10:30 p.m. and crews said they spent about another hour mopping up any hot spots.
What caused the fire is being investigated by the MVFR Fire Marshall and the Weld County Sheriff's Office.
