(Two Semi-Truck fires)....Both were reported Wednesday morning.

The first fire was reported  at 7:35 am on Interstate 8 at the truck escape ramp near the Mountain Grade. The driver of the semi was able to stop the truck on the right hand shoulder. The smoke from the fire was thick and blocked traffic. County Fire responded. The Fire engine was stopped on the Interstate to allow the crew to extinguish the fire. No injuries were reported. The cause of the incident is being investigated. At just after 9 Wednesday morning, smoke was reported coming from a semi on East McCabe Road near Highway 111. County Fire responded, but found very little smoke from the vehicle when they arrived. The fire had apparently burnt itself out. No injuries were reported.
