By KENT THOMPSON
A semitrailer caught fire on Highway 3 in Humboldt Friday afternoon about 4:14 p.m.
The fire engulfed the trailer destroying a four-wheeler and two modified pulling trucks.
“Something started on fire in the front of the trailer. The driver was able to see it and was able to stop,” Humboldt Fire Chief Jim Gronbach said at the scene. The driver pulled over just west of the intersection with 11th Street North and was able to disengage the cab and pull it around the corner from the burning trailer.
“We were on our way to fair with two 1939 International trucks that we had modified to pull in Outlaw events like the one here in Humboldt,” said the rig’s owner, Terry Van Beek of Rock Valley. Terry and his family compete under the Slightly Twisted Pulling Team name.
“It was two antique trucks and a four-wheeler to pull them around. I didn’t see smoke initially,” he said.

By KENT THOMPSON
If Humboldt County’s new Emergency Management director sounds like a Boy Scout, it could be because of his motto, “be prepared.”
Kyle Bissell of Gilmore City said the saying has served him well in his career of dealing with emergencies and later helping ambulance providers and fire services with tools to provide training and emergency response services.
Bissell was one of six candidates for the position and filled the bill on many fronts, according to Humboldt Mayor and Humboldt County Emergency Management Commission Chair Dan Scholl.
