Traffic Delays Due to Truck Fire

291, we can start sending westbound I-80. They're going to be in between the left shoulder and the number 1. We're just going to put Cullens around the fire tracks.

Traffic is beginning to move westbound on I-80, with vehicles directed between the left shoulder and lane one.

 We're going to try and back up this one fire truck a little bit,

 and then we'll start filtering what's here through.

 It was a secondary 9 Alpha unit going to still divert to 215 East-South.

Units on 3, just 10-14. Sounds like the fire is basically out. We're going to try and back up this one fire truck a little bit, and then we'll start filtering what's here through. It was a secondary 9 Alpha unit going to still divert to 215 East-South.

Firefighters report the fire is under control and are repositioning a truck to begin allowing some traffic through the area.

 The fire is blocking everything at the point of the semi. If you want to go up towards fire and just help them stop people, once they get that fire contained, see if we can open up at least the last lane.

 Currently heading to the main closure, but they cleared everyone to 215. But if you need me down there, X-ray's possible.

 9 Alpha 531, I'm just holding the road, just at 2300 East.

 Okay, I'm going to, I'm just passing. I'm going to go check in with fire.

 This semi looks like it's mostly out, but we got fire trucks blocking all the lanes.

 So if that's the case, if we, at this point, still backed up, I don't know if diverting traffic much is going to do anything other than whatever's coming out of the canyon.

 But if we could get a fire truck or two moved.
