White River Logistics Inc. from Winnipeg is short one truck this week. Following a blown tire on Thursday, July 15 just east of Wabigoon, the tractor went up in flames at approximately 10:30 pm. The tractor and trailer had been separated by a few feet before the blaze got going, saving the trailer with minor damage. The tractor was burnt beyond repair, and the driver was outside the tractor at the time of fire. Wabigoon Fire responded to the blaze with 3 units as well as 10 firefighters and over 6,000 gallons of water, with the OPP on hand for assistance. The highway was closed for roughly an hour.
