Big Rig Fire Takes 60 Pallets of Seltzer | Madison News

A big rig carrying 60 pallets of alcoholic seltzer burst into flames early Friday on I-90 in Madison after the driver pulled over to investigate smoke near the rear wheels—turning a routine stop into a full-blown fire disaster. The blaze, which erupted too fast for the driver’s extinguisher, consumed the entire rig before firefighters arrived at 1:22 AM. With extra help and over 4,100 gallons of water, crews finally doused the fire by 2:27 AM, but cleanup stretched until nearly 4 AM. Thankfully, no one was hurt—but all the bubbly booze and the truck are now total losses, proving how quickly chaos can strike even on the open road.
