Truck of oranges catches on fire along U.S. 287
Bowie Rural Volunteer Fire Department responded to a semi-truck/trailer fire at about 8 p.m. April 9 on U.S. 287 and Cattle Pen Road. The refrigerated truck caught fire and the cab was able to unhook. The fire burned the roof of the trailer causing the walls to collapse and the load of oranges fell onto the highway. The highway had to be closed for more than an hour for the wreckage to be removed. Sunset VFD responded with a Tinder and local law enforcement blocked traffic so they could work.
