Photos: Reader Captures I-580 Big Rig Fire

by ECT

A reader of East County Today, JR Rollins captured these photographs on 580 near Santa Rita Road in Dublin during commute hours home Friday afternoon.

The incident began at 5:17 pm on burned on the shoulder of westbound I-580 which caused 1-lane closure as commuters made their way home. The big rig was fully engulfed upon their arrival.  Flames filled the cab portion of the vehicle, but they were able to extinguish the flames quickly.
