Truck catches fire on I-79
Waynesburg-Franklin Township Volunteer Fire Company was called about 7 a.m. Wednesday to a tractor-trailer fire at the 11-mile marker on Interstate 79.
Fire Chief Jeff Marshall said the fire started from a problem with the brakes or axle. The fire damaged the trailer deck as well as some wood on the spools of wire the truck was hauling.
The driver of the truck disconnected the trailer and moved the cab so the cab was not damaged, he said.
No one was injured.
