A tractor-trailer carrying Girl Scout cookies caught fire in Pendleton County.

The North Pendleton Fire Auxiliary (NPFA) and Falmouth Fire Department responded to the blaze Thursday morning at approximately 4:00 on Hwy 27 near Sharp Middle School, according to the NPFA.

The semi was carrying cookies that were damaged and slated to be recycled.

Due to the proximity of the fire to the middle school, Pendleton County Schools delayed classes by two hours.

No injuries were reported. Officials have not released information on the cause of the fire.
