Trailer and Truck Fire Near FF Overpass

Sullivan Fire District received a call late in the afternoon on July 21st to respond to westbound I-44 and assist the Bourbon Fire District with a pickup and trailer fire. I had heard the original call go out to Bourbon and failed to get out there on the first call, wish now I had, because I prob would have had some photos with flames in them. By the time I got there, Bourbon had the fire knocked down and Sullivan assisted in mopping things up…
