News - No one was injured in a truck fire that stopped rush hour traffic on Mitch Owens Road May 6. A truck, hauling a fifth wheel trailer filled with four horses and a dog, burst into flames, but the driver and four-legged passengers were able to make it to safety and watched from the MacEwen’s gas station on
the corner of Albion Road and Mitch Owens. “The only injury was a dog with singed fur,” Ottawa Fire Services spokesperson Marc Messier said. “EMS (emergency medical services) treated the dog.” The fire department doesn’t investigate single-vehicle fires, so there’s no official cause, but Messier said there have been cases of oil on a car’s manifold
or overheated brakes causing a vehicle to burst into flames. “The truck was a complete loss and the trailer was significantly damaged,” Messier said. Smoke billowed out from the burning truck and was visible from the Rideau Carleton Raceway. Police were on scene and had closed Mitch Owens from Stagecoach Road to Bank Street. Traffic was being redi-
rected through the parking lot of the MacEwen’s. The road was reopened once it was cleared of the truck and the debris. Messier said it didn’t take long for firefighters to extinguish the blaze. They arrived on scene at 5:47 p.m. Messier estimates the damage to be approximately $50,000.
