Truck trailer destroyed by fire at Moorlands
The Country Fire Service has responded to a fire on the Mallee Highway.
Firefighters and a quick-thinking truck driver have limited the damage from a fire which broke out aboard a B-double on the Mallee Highway on Monday.
Emergency services received a triple-zero call from Moorlands around 5.20pm.
Three Country Fire Service units arrived to find the driver had already separated his prime mover from two trailers full of carrots, one of which was burning.
The volunteers were able to keep the fire from spreading.
It caused about $80,000 worth of damage.
The 54-year-old driver was not hurt.
