The state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Emergency Response Unit said the fire was contained to the trailer's tires and was quickly knocked down by firefighters.
The trucking company offloaded about 8,000 gallons of gasoline into an empty tanker to help lighten the trailer's weight before the trailer could be towed. There were no hazardous materials released.
No injuries were reported.
