    Arizona Exit 8 SB (Beaver Dam/Littlefield exit.)
    A delivery to several Las Vegas casinos was cancelled after a semitractor-trailer hauling a load of steaks heading to the area caught fire and was fully engulfed within minutes on Interstate 15 in Arizona Wednesday evening.

    Such a shame. On a side note, would've been a good place to have a BBQ

    Hah, I didn't catch that. I suppose it's possible, but far more likely that the channels in the metal floor acted as a path for the flames to jump from one pallet to the next.
