I-30 was alight with more than 40,000 pounds of frozen chickens early Wednesday as a tractor-trailer caught fire.

The Dallas Police Department told Fox 4 that the brakes of the 18-wheeler carrying the frozen chickens overheated and caught fire on Interstate 30 near the Dallas and Grand Prairie Line and sandwiched between Loop 12 and Macarthur Boulevard at around 1 a.m. on March 29.

Despite the driver immediately disconnecting the trailer from the truck, the trailer soon caught fire as well, and it the fire quickly spread.
