Engulfed box truck fire spreads, damages Sanford home

Fire Forces Closure of Acorn Street

A blaze that broke out on Acorn Street earlier this week forced the road to be shut down on Monday. Fire crews responded quickly and are still working on the site, leaving the street closed until the fire is fully contained and the area is deemed safe.

The incident occurred on Acorn Street, a local thoroughfare that runs through a mixed residential and commercial zone. While the exact cause of the fire remains under investigation, the prompt arrival of first‑responders helped prevent the fire from spreading to neighboring buildings.

Traffic officials have advised motorists to use alternative routes while the street remains closed. Local residents and business owners report disruptions, as the street serves as a key access point for commuters and deliveries.

Fire officials say the crews are continuing their efforts to contain the blaze and to secure the area. Once the fire is under control and the street is cleared of hazards, the road will be reopened for traffic.

Residents and visitors are encouraged to stay tuned to local news and the Department of Public Safety for updates on the status of Acorn Street and any changes to traffic patterns.
