The fire was reported shortly before 10 pm Central time Thursday night. The pumps had been shut down and the FD evacuated the area until they had the fire safely extinguished. The cargo which was burning was entirely plastic goods.
WTHI-TV Terre Haute has a brief video clip of the fire:
The fire destroyed the trailer, but no injuries were reported. Firefighters were challenged with roiling flames and heavy smoke as they worked to extinguish the blaze in the trailer that extended out from under the fuel pump island’s roof.
WTWO-TV is reporting that the driver left the truck unattended while he was fueling and the fire began while he was gone. The fire department was hindered by frozen hydrants in the area.
