Highway 63 between McDonalds and Dairy Queen in Thayer was blocked for a while this afternoon when a semi and trailer caught fire. The semi was just off the southbound lane and the highway was completely blocked because of the fire just after 3 p.m. The fire department quickly arrived and the fire was contained and traffic began to flow again as authorities directed the southbound traffic across the medium into the left north bound land for a short distance then back across the medium into the southbound lane. northbound traffic was restricted to just the right lane in the area where the semi was on fire. The trailer was a complete loss and the semi suffered fire damage. at this time we have no reports of any injuries. Authorities are not saying at this time what caused the fire.
