TACNA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - A semi-truck carrying U.S. mail caught on fire at a Shell gas station in Tacna, according to the Wellton Fire Department's (WFD) Facebook post.

On Saturday, fire crews from Wellton and Tacna were able to stop the flames from destroying the entire trailer, saving about half of the mail.

The driver suffered minor burns and was taken to Onvida Health.

In addition, WFD said U.S. Border Patrol help the fire crews by "activating the emergency fuel shut-off switch" and supported the Yuma County Sheriff's Office with traffic control.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
