Trailer Truck Fire With Fuel Spill

The park fire brigade responded to a tractor trailer collision and fire on the state highway near the park around 1 a.m. on April 12th. Upon arrival, firefighters found the truck and trailer fully engulfed in flames and a large amount of diesel fuel spilling from the truck. They created a dike to prevent the spill from going into a local water source and extinguished the blaze. The driver of the truck was treated on the scene by park EMTs and released. He was cited for operating a vehicle with defective brakes.
