At about 6:50 a.m. on Friday morning the Stanton County Sheriff’s office was dispatched to a semi-trailer that was fully engulfed in fire on Hwy 15 just north of Hwy 275. The semi-trailer was enroute to Le Mar’s, IA fully loaded with meat products when it caught fire at the rear of the trailer. The fire was put out by Pilger and Wisner Fire Departments and the trailer and its contents were a total loss in the thousands of dollars. Traffic was reduced in the area to one lane for a short period of time. Pilger Rescue and the Cuming County Sheriff’s office also responded to the scene.
