KNOXVILLE - A Normal Fire Department truck was burned up in a blaze Wednesday morning on Interstate 74 in Knox County.Knoxville Fire Protection District Chief Jeff Vandemark said fire crews were called out to a firetruck blaze at about 10 a.m.
The three Normal firefighters present attempted to extinguish the blaze while they called 911 to respond, but were unsuccessful. It appeared most of the cab was intact, but much of the rest of the truck was claimed by the fire.
“Looked like it may have started near one of the rear wheels, so maybe a brake or tire issue,” Barnett said.
“It’s 14 years old. Not a huge dollar loss, but we’re going to miss it,” Barnett said.
No one was injured in the fire and Normal had insurance on the vehicle. The truck was hauled back to Alexis Fire Equipment.
