7-12-13 tractor trailer fire
On July 11, 2013 at 2:30 p.m. The Fond du Lac Fire Department responded
to a report of tractor-trailer on fire on the Northbound off Ramp of WI
41 at Johnson Street. Upon arrival fire crews found a fire in the rear
of a car carrier which was fully loaded with autos; the fire was
quickly extinguished and none of the vehicles which were being
transported were damaged. The fire appears to have been a result of
rear brakes on the trailer locking up, which in turn ignited
two rear tires. The fire was extinguished and there were no injuries.
The ramp remained closed until a local towing company could arrive on
scene to make emergency repairs to the trailer. The FDLD was assisted
by the Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office.
