The Grant County Sheriff's Office reported that the officers managed to save five zebras, four camels, and a miniature horse from the blaze, with the animals unharmed after the incident.

The 57-year-old truck driver from Florida safely exited the vehicle, and the fire was attributed to an equipment failure.

The heroic efforts of law enforcement and circus personnel averted a potential tragedy as the animals were en route from Florida to perform in Fort Wayne.

The heart-stopping rescue operation shut down northbound lanes of the highway until the animals were safely secured and the fire extinguished, with law enforcement agencies collaborating to ensure the safety of the animals.
