Cleanup Difficult After Morning Truck Fire | Video

Valley News Live | 6/25/2012

The driver of a semi said he heard a pop, pulled the rig over and noticed a small fire. That was at 10:00 this morning on Interstate 29 near Grandin.

The driver was hauling plastic pellets, which burned and kept re-igniting. It`s made cleanup very difficult and has kept Grandin and Gardner firefighters on hand watching for flareups.

Traffic was detoured for nearly two hours, before one lane was re-opened.
