Semi, three vehicles on car hauler burn on Puryear Drive

Firefighters battled a semi-truck fire early on Friday morning in the Farley area off I-24 Exit 11.

The fire was reported just after 5 a.m. in front of Paducah Auto Auction on John Puryear Drive. The cab of the semi caught fire, and it spread to three other vehicles on the hauler.

Reidland Farley firefighters were able to knock the blaze down, but called in Hendron Fire to assist and bring a tanker. The fire was put out, and crews remained on the scene for about an hour.

No injuries were reported.
