Colleton County Fire-Rescue

11/10/2008

Stations 1, 13 & 27 responded to a truck fire on Interstate 95 northbound at the 45 mile marker at 12:36.  On arrival, Engine 13 found a dump trailer with its brakes and the rear of the trailer well involved.  Firefighters used two 1.75" hand lines to extinguish the fire.  The driver broke a hydraulic line while disconnecting the trailer which caused a approximately 15 gallons of hydraulic fluid to leak onto the ground.  Firefighters used foam to extinguish the leaking hydraulic fluid. 

Engine 13, Engine 1, Tanker 1, Medic 27, and Battalion 1 responded.  Firefighter/EMT Bryon Martinson served as Incident Commander.
