Border Patrol officials said 39 people were rescued from a burning tractor-trailer after a pursuit in South Texas.

The tractor-trailer fled from the Falfurrias Border Patrol Checkpoint on June 4 after a K-9 alerted to the vehicle, the U.S. Border Patrol Rio Grande Valley Sector said in a Facebook post.

Border Patrol officers and Texas Department of Public Safety troopers pursued the tractor-trailer before it caught fire.
