This afternoon as Assistant Chief Yocum (501) was returning home from work he came across a working pickup truck fire on I-99.  501 advised the 911 center of his findings and immediately assumed I-99 command.

Once most of the fire was out, 1 lane of I-99 was opened for traffic.

The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Pennsylvania State Police.
