A semitrailer truck that had just filled its two 150-gallon tanks with diesel fuel caught fire Tuesday afternoon at the TA Express, 3222 Highway 14.
No one was injured.
The driver had pulled forward and left the truck idling, with the trailer's back end at the edge of the pump area, and he went in to pay for the fuel and buy some items, which is customary practice, said Lt. Kent Shea of the Janesville Fire Department.
About 10 minutes later, someone ran into the store and said, “Hey, your truck's on fire!” Shea said.
