No injuries but a heavily damaged tractor trailer in Shuniah.

Fire Chief Blair Arthur tells Acadia News that crews were called to the Flying J truck stop around 1:30 a.m. Thursday where they found the vehicle engulfed in flames near the building.

Crews were able to limit the damage to just the trailer.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
