Units were dispatched early this morning for a reported collision with fire on I-70. At 02:42 the tones sounded for a two vehicle accident with a semi truck on fire, alerting units from WFVFD and Station 8. The incident was upgraded when Paramedic 35 arrived on scene on eastbound I-70 just past Marriottsville Road to find a tractor trailer with heavy fire showing from the cab and a pick up truck with heavy damage. The crew from Engine 82 made a knock on the fire and Ops 10 was requested for a fuel pump-off. Two subjects were transported to area hospitals for check-ups and units cleared at 04:55.
