Last Tuesday, December 12th, the Shrewsbury Fire Department attended an emergency regarding a Grumman mail truck by USPS that caught fire in the Wachusett Avenue area.
Cedar Rapids public safety spokesman Greg Buelow said the fire was reported at 6:54 a.m. in the 1100 block of Forest Glen Court SE. When firefighters responded, the passenger area of a United States Postal Service truck was on fire.

The truck hit a pole and burst into flames around 9 a.m. today, according to the CHP traffic log. The driver was able to escape the vehicle with minor injuries, the CHP said.
Two Wayzata fire trucks responded to what looks like a postal service truck that caught on fire on westbound U.S. Highway 12, around 5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 20, backing up traffic for miles.
USPS documents show 88 postal vehicle fires this year, but do not break down by type. It also seems to blame at least some of the fires on unapproved modifications in the vehicles.
