This morning at 5:00am, C-Shift personnel were alerted to a reported motor vehicle accident on I-77 in the Northbound lane at exit 45. While en-route, an update was transmitted that stated there are multiple vehicles involved with one vehicle on fire. Engine 1 arrived on scene first and confirmed the report. Rescue 1 arrived on scene seconds behind Engine 1 and both companies immediately went to work on fire attack and assisting Iredell County Emergency Medical Service with patient care. Due to a ruptured fuel tank, Engine 2 and Tanker 1 were requested to the scene to aid in fire suppression. The scene still remains active with different agencies on the scene. If possible, avoid travel in that area.
