They were able to knock down the fire and specialized towing equipment was brought in to remove the cars and trailer from the highway.
Fire officials said the fire appears to have started in the brakes of the trailer and the driver was unable to put it out with an extinguisher, but the fire made its way to the cars above.
No injuries were reported.
