Multiple agencies are reporting a truck fire blocking traffic on State Route 447 between Nixon and Wadsworth on Monday.

The incident is blocking both lanes of traffic. People are advised to avoid the area and take alternate routes.

The Nevada Highway Patrol says a Ford F-450 caught fire for reasons as yet unknown.

It was carrying wood, and firefighters are making sure the fire does not reignite. These efforts will keep lanes closed for another hour or two per NHP.

Nobody was injured in the fire.
