Florida Mail Truck Fire

A vehicle on fire with thick smoke rising into the air, located in a residential area. A fire hydrant is visible nearby, and houses are in the background under a cloudy sky.

RCA was able to deliver about a quarter of the route. Everything else burned and no letter given to customers to inform them their mail and packages were destroyed.

Louisiana Mail Truck Fire

Two firefighters in protective gear using a hose to extinguish a small vehicle fire, with flames and smoke billowing from the vehicle, set against a wooded background.

Not every day does a USPS mail truck catch fire—but this one did earlier today on Old Spanish Trail! Engine 11’s crew Chase Elsworth and Jon Miller handled it up with Cain Knight pumping that truck. Fortunately, no injuries were reported. However, if you noticed some mail being delayed, this might be the reason.
