The fire broke out around 6:30 p.m., prompting closures of I-81 south at Exit 59 (PA 581 East/US 11 – Camp Hill) and the ramp from 581 west to I-81 south, according to PennDOT spokesperson Fritzi Schreffler.
Crews quickly extinguished the cab fire, and the tanker— which was carrying acetone— did not explode, Schreffler said. The ramp from 581 west to I-81 south reopened earlier in the evening.
As of 9:24 p.m., all lanes of I-81 south have reopened, Schreffler announced.
