Eastbound lanes of Interstate 24 were closed for hours early Friday morning after a cargo truck caught fire.

The Chattanooga Fire Department says the accident happened between Germantown Road and Belvoir Avenue a little after 2 a.m.

Firefighters found the trailer of a tractor trailer fully engulfed in flames with all of its cargo burning.

The truck was full of doors.

Crews kept the fire knocked down until they could get the cab disconnected from the trailer.

Once that was done, they put out the fire.

No one was hurt.

As of 8 a.m., Interstate 24 remains closed, and drivers should avoid the area if possible.
