Friday, October 24, 2014

Black smoke billowed from a semi-trailer truck fire on U.S. Highway 412 East, near Route NN Friday afternoon, and could be seen from some distance away. Both east bound lanes were closed for a short time, as Kennett firemen used foam to bring the fire under control. Its cause was unknown at press time, but the vehicle was fully engulfed when KFD arrived on the scene, literally melting the truck cab. The truck was hauling grain.
