Northbound I-15 near Mesquite reopens after semi-truck fire
No one was injured when a semitractor-trailer caught fire Tuesday afternoon, briefly shutting down northbound Interstate 15 near Mesquite.
The vehicle fire was reported shortly after 1:20 p.m. about eight miles south of Mesquite’s city limits, according to Mesquite Police Department spokesman Quinn Averett. One lane had reopened about 2 p.m., and traffic was still moving slowly just before 3 p.m., Averett said.
The Nevada Highway Patrol and volunteers with the Clark County Fire Department also responded to the scene.
