Beaufort Firemen Put Out Blaze at Harlowe ? Fuel Line Breaks, Causing Fire An Eastern Rulane truck cab and motor burned at 4:35 p. m. Friday on highway 101 near Lionel Conner's store. Beaufort firemen rushed to the scene and wrapped the back part of the truck in foam to guard against further damage. Driver of the truck was Ted Phillips of New Bern. L. J. Hill of the Eastern Rulane store, Beau fort, said the fire broke out as Phillips was headed to New Bern from Beaufort. The fuel line under the hood parted, causing the blaze. The truck was a twin-barrel bulk truck and had only a partial load, 150 gallons of gas. Mr. Hill said the tanks were equipped with safety valves which would have operated had the pressure reached 250 pounds due to excessive heat. The pressure, he said, went only to 200. Beaufort trucks which went to the fire were driven by Eimond Rhue, engineer, and Jackie Chap man. Mr. Rhue said, "That's one fire where 1 had enough room to work." Because bystanders were afraid the truck would blow up, they kept 600 to 700 yards away Cherry Point fire equipment also arrived, coming on the scene af ter the fire had been controlled. The heat melted a large hole in the road because the driver didn't have time to pull it completely off the highway. Mr. Rhue complimented Nathan Robinson, Craven county highway patrolman, who came to the fire and offered his assistance.
