Feb. 26 (UPI) -- No one was injured, but many potatoes were lost, when a tractor-trailer hauling a load of curly fries caught fire on a Maine highway.
The York Fire Department responded alongside Kittery Fire crews when more than 30 calls came in to 911 reporting a truck on fire on southbound Interstate 95.
"It was quickly determined that the cargo was frozen curly french fries and not a hazardous material," the York Fire Department said on social media.
The firefighters used about 6,000 gallons of water to extinguish the flames, but the tractor-trailer and its spud snack cargo "were a total loss," firefighters wrote.
There were no injuries resulting from the fire.

I once made a call on a train car on fire out in the rural part of our territory. It was loaded to the gills with liquor of all sorts. The Train company man came over and told us it was all trash so help your self. We had the entire inside of the engine loaded down to the gills. Most of it was completely untouched by the fire. Fun times.

uhh...to answer dumb question, once exposed to FIRE, frozen stuff isn’t frozen anymore. more “science of the curly fry” should be next on the reading list. in the meantime, in having a beer and dreaming about what could have been.

It would great if a truck load of Velveeta Cheese caught fire in the vicinity! With no one being injured of course.

Never had French fried cooked in diesel, but I’m willing to try them.
