Summary

Firefighters responded to a semi-truck fire on I-80 West in Salt Lake City, leading to the closure of westbound lanes for safety.

Timeline

Jul 23, 12:09PM

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

UHP Salt Lake E · 0:10

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.

Jul 23, 12:09PM

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

UHP Salt Lake Co · 0:17

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.

Jul 23, 12:02PM

The fire crew is working to clear the scene, aiming to open at least one lane soon.

UHP Salt Lake Co · 0:30

are you still on this one? Yep, what do you got? 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. I copy, where are you going? Currently heading to the main closure, but they cleared everyone to 215. But if you need me down there, X-ray's possible.

Jul 23, 12:01PM

Firefighters have mostly extinguished the semi-truck fire, but fire truck is still blocking all lanes.

UHP Salt Lake Co · 0:30

Hey, the guy who's on closure is on 3. 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.

Jul 23, 11:55AM

Traffic is being diverted from the westbound lanes to an alternate route due to the truck fire.

UHP Salt Lake E · 0:07

Far Lake 9 Alpha 531, I have traffic stopped at 2300 East, going westbound. 10-4.

UHP Salt Lake E · 0:24

Southlake 291, if we can get any available signs for 80 westbound to advise them that traffic's going to be shut down, and then we're going to divert them to 215 east southbound, and then we'll let you know when we get traffic control set up and traffic cleared out of there. 10-4. That's for my 10-14. Is fire already on scene? Affirmative.

Jul 23, 11:55AM

Police are checking if the truck driver is safe and identifying the truck's cargo.

UHP Salt Lake Co · 0:13

Hey, Barley on 3. Affirm. Hey, can you confirm if that driver's safe and out of the truck? And then two, what they're loaded with? Okay, give me a minute.
