Firefighters have been faced with a potentially explosive truck fire at Freemans Waterhole on Tuesday morning
Crews were called the southbound lanes of the Pacific Motorway just past Palmers Road at about 3.45am to find the Prime Mover of a semi-trailer on fire.
The trailer was carrying several drums of flammable liquids including Petroluem Distillate.
Luckily, the driver managed to detach the trailer before the fire could spread.
Crews took about an hour to extinguish the fire and an area of bush beside the motorway which also caught alight.
