From NewsChannel 9: On Saturday firefighters worked to put out a tractor trailer that caught on fire on I-75 northbound near Ooltewah at what’s know as the ‘Scenic Overlook.’

 

That’s all according to the Tri-Community Volunteer Fire Department.

 

In a post on X, the department said the fire happened near the 15-mile marker and that drivers should expect delays.

 

Our newsroom captured video from TDOT’s Smartway cameras which showed flames off to the side of the interstate.

 

There are no other details about what led up to the fire or if anyone was hurt.
