(Interstate 8 shoulder now clear)…That was the last of the clean up from a hay fire

. The fire was reported at 12:45 Thursday afternoon on westbound Interstate 8, near the old Brock Research Center Road. County Fire responded to the fire, that involved two trailers of hay being pulled by a semi. The fire blocked one lane and backed traffic for miles at one time. By 6:00 pm Thursday the lanes were all open, but the shoulder remained closed. At just after 8:00 Friday morning a tow truck arrived to pull the burnt semi from the shoulder of the Interstate.
