BLACK ROCK, Ariz. — Firefighting crews from multiple states and cities extinguished a blaze that enveloped the cab of a Walmart semitrailer carrying water bottles on the last on-ramp of north Interstate 15 just before the Utah border Wednesday.
The St. George Fire Department was first on the scene with three engines after the fire was reported around 11:30 a.m. on the Black Rock Road on-ramp to the northbound I-15. They were followed by firefighters from the Bureau of Land Management and the Beaver Dam Littlefield Fire District, with the latter department taking lead.
The fire was mostly out by noon and very little of the surrounding brush was blackened. The on-ramp, however, remained blocked until 12:30 p.m., with the debris removed by 2 p.m.
