SUMMERSVILLE, W.Va. — Firefighters in West Virginia quickly extinguished a dramatic semi-truck fire Thursday on Route 19, a heavily traveled corridor in the eastern United States, preventing the flames from spreading to the vehicle’s trailer.

According to a statement on the Summersville Fire Department’s Facebook page, crews responded to the scene just north of Summersville to find the truck’s cab fully engulfed. Rescue 21, Engine 21, Tower 21 and Command 2 worked together to bring the fire under control. Mutual aid was provided by Craigsville and Birch River fire departments.

As firefighters were wrapping up the truck incident, they were dispatched to a second emergency involving a vehicle rollover in the Canvas area. Nettie Fire Department assisted with that call due to resources being split.

Video footage shared by the department captured firefighters attacking the intense flames in the truck’s cab.
