Update Truck Fire; INC#1586; 10:00PM; NB 405 Fwy south of Ventura Blvd; https://maps.app.goo.gl/vDUagKcN4Ukjnw6D7; #ShermanOaks; The fire has been fully extinguished, and was confined to the tractor (cab) only of the big rig, which included *tandem* (two) trailers containing 7,600 gallons of diesel motor fuel. The trailers are intact and upright, were not involved with fire and are not leaking product. A minimal leak of diesel motor fuel at the scene is attributed to partial leakage of the tractor's *one* 'saddle' tank used to propel the truck. No injuries have been reported. #LATraffic: ALL lanes of the northbound and southbound 405 Freeway remain closed between Burbank Boulevard and Skirball Center Dr until LAFD and CHP operations are complete, and the site has been rendered safe for travel. Unknown ETO. Travelers, expect congestion and delay. Consider an alternate route. Monitor traffic reports on news radio.
