TANGENT – A milk truck caught on fire early Sunday morning in Tangent when insulation between the steel walls of the trailer ignited, firefighters said. 

Shortly after 2:30 a.m., a welder’s torch ignited the insulation of the truck at Jim Aartman Inc at 33923 Hwy 99 East, said Dennis Weis with the Tangent Fire Department.

Firefighters pulled the outside skin of the trailer away to get the burning insulation out, Weis said.
