A semi-truck fire on the TransCanada Highway east of Swift Current slowed traffic to a crawl and would have threatened nearby acreage estates if not for the quick action of the RM of Swift Current Fire Department.

From blackened evidence at the scene east of the Jenmar trailer court near the current site of ongoing highway construction.

Firefighters were on scene as well as members from the Swift Current Rural RCMP directing traffic as it slowly made its way past the crowded, under-construction roads.

More information as it becomes available.
