WESTPORT FIRE
Westport tractor trailer fire The Westport Fire Department responded to a Federal Express tractor trailer fire on Interstate 95 North between Exits 18 and 19 at 5:24 a.m. on January 14th. The driver of the tractor trailer was notified by another truck operator via CB radio of a fire around his right rear tire. The Fed Ex driver pulled over to the side of the road and attempted to put the fire out. The tire exploded and the fire extended to the trailer portion and storage area. Westport firefighters extinguished the fire and were assisted by Fairfield firefighters in removing packages from the trailer and making sure all the fire was extinguished. The last firefighting unit cleared the scene at 6:22 a.m.
