At around 5:30 am, the Zion Crossroads Fire Department was called to the 132 mile marker on eastbound of I-64 for a reported FedEx on fire.
Upon arrival, crews found a double tractor-trailer with fire coming
from the wheels of the rear trailer. The fire had spread to the freight
compartment and a large portion of the cargo was ablaze.
It took crews from ZCFVD, Louisa Fire Department (Company 1), Albemarle
East Rivanna Fire Department (Station 2) and Palmyra Fire Department
(Company 1) to contain the fire. All of the cargo had extensive fire
and water damage and had to be off-loaded from the truck.
