ALACHUA COUNTY - Crews from Melrose Fire Department, Windsor Fire Department and Alachua County Fire Rescue responded to a reported commercial vehicle fire on Feb. 10, 2024.
Upon arrival crews found a semi-tractor trailer 75 percent involved. It took crews several hours to extinguish the fire due to the cargo on board. U.S. Highway 301, southbound was partially blocked creating heavy traffic in the area. As clean up was anticipated to take several hours, fire officials asked that the public avoid the area if possible. The cause of the fire appears to have been due to a fire in the trailers brakes.
