The Carman Dufferin Fire Department was called to action Tuesday afternoon after reports of a semi on fire north of Carman along Highway 13.
Crews were dispatched around 3:20 p.m. and arrived to find a semi tractor already engulfed in flames.
“The driver and passenger were able to pull over and escape without injury,” notes the Carman Dufferin Fire Department in a Facebook post.
Crews were able to extinguish the fire before it spread to the attached trailer.
"We got a couple of crews out with a hose line and got the water going right away," said Fire Chief Chris Lemky. "We had the tanker too, just in case we needed more water. They were able to get after it right away and put it out fairly quickly."
The cause of the blaze has yet to be determined.
