Tractor Trailer Goes Up In Flames At Milford Gas Station

MILFORD, CT — A tractor trailer was engulfed in flames at a Milford truck stop early Wednesday morning, according to fire officials.

The Milford Emergency Operational Center received numerous calls that a truck was on fire at the Secondi Bros. Truck Stop at 365 Old Gate Lane.

The tractor trailer was at the diesel pumps and the driver was inside the business when he was told his truck's cab was on fire.

"This driver somehow was able to get into the truck while the passenger seat was on fire and moved it far enough away from the pumps to not cause any further complications," fire officials wrote.

The truck was a complete loss, but no injuries were reported. The truck was not carrying any supplies at the time.

Crews remained at the scene to assist the fire marshal's division. The exact cause of the fire is still under investigation.
