Firefighters rushed to the scene of a truck fire in which an entire rig was entirely engulfed in flames. 

The incident took place on the New York State Thruway southbound, between exists 15 and 16, during rush hour when the roads are jammed as it is.  

Traffic in the area slowed to a snarl, and Tuxedo fire department joined New York State Police and KJ Hatzolah on the scene.
