DENNIS – Dennis Firefighters worked sweltering conditions to douse a large trailer fire. The 48-foot trailer full of construction debris caught fire at an industrial lot at 200 Great Western Road about 7:30 PM. Heavy equipment had to be brought in to pull the materials from the trailer so the fire could be completely extinguished. No injuries were reported. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Dennis Deputy Fire Chief Robert Brown tells Cape Wide News that a 40 foot tractor trailer loaded with building debris was fully involved when Dennis fire crews arrived. At 7:30 PM, a call was received about a fire at S & J Trucking Co on 200 Great Western Road South Dennis.
Employees from the company were able to pull the burning trailer away from others that it was parked next to. An excavator from the company was used to remove the burning material out of the back of the trailer as firefighters extinguished the debris.
Yarmouth Fire and Harwich Fire departments supplied station coverage and assisted on additional medical calls during the incident.
No injuries were reported and cause of the fire is undetermined at this time.
