I-95 Tractor Trailer Fire (3-3-2020)

This afternoon a tractor trailer caught fire on I 95 northbound. The fire is out and has been for sometime. I 95 northbound remains closed. DOT, Ledge light health district and DEEP are on site along with troopers and Fire personnel. When there are updates LLHD and/or DEEP will issue statements. Thanks to Troop E, our local Fire and EMS for their quick response. This accident appears to have involved only the tractor trailer and the driver was ok. First Selectman Mike Urgo met on the scene with DEEP and they are assessing what the truck was carrying. Cleanup of the site was underway prior to the rainfall.
