There were no injuries after a truck pulling an anhydrous ammonia tanker caught fire Sunday, April 4, south of Iowa Fertilizer Co.’s (IFCo) Wever plant, according to The Hawk Eye. Although the truck cab was fully engulfed when fire officials arrived at the scene, they were able to protect the tank and there was no leakage.
There was no evacuation, however, the route was temporarily shut to traffic.
The product came from the IFCo plant, and the company provided water for fire department tankers.
