Emergency crews were on the scene Tuesday, July 25 just west of Neepawa at a semi truck fire. At around 11:00 am, police and fire officials arrived to find the massive blaze on Highway 16 between Neepawa and Minnedosa.

According to Neepawa RCMP, a truck from Springhill Colony stopped on Hwy 16 after the driver noticed some flames coming from under the truck engine. The fire quickly spread and the driver was only able to get his personal belongings out. The truck was reported to be completely destroyed.
