BILLINGS – A melted cab and charred interior is all that remains of a mail truck that caught fire in Billings on Monday.
“It hasn’t happened since I’ve been at the postal service, so it’s been at least 15 years,” says Big Sky District Marketing Director, Sally Tuomi. “I know the carrier is a 37+ year carrier and he’s never had it happened either. Very, very unusual.”
Now, the 300 to 400 parcels of mail are being aired out and are expected to be delivered in the next couple days.
Just had one burn up in 55437 as well. Got stuck in snow, fuel line leaked in engine compartment and she burned bad. Maybe there’s some design flaw and a recall in order?
