Where There's Smoke There's Fire

Keith Bryant/The Weekly Vista Bella Vista and White Rock firefighters work to put out a fire that appeared to start in the rear axle of a trailer pulled by a semi-tractor on U.S. Highway 71, just north of the state line. Emergency workers had to stop southbound traffic on the interstate to put out the fire on a chilly Tuesday. "When these tires catch on fire, it always looks worse than it is," said Bella Vista deputy chief Bryan Wolfgang.
