Hot chips but not because they're spicy

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - October 19, 2012 (WPVI) -- They're some hot chips -- but we're not talking spicy.

Thousands of dollars' worth of potato chips became potato crisps on a Tucson, Ariz., highaway.

A 24-foot trailer hauling the snacks caught fire just off I-10.

About $6,000 worth of Poore Brothers potato chips went up in smoke.

A local fire department spokesman says the fire was caused by a mechanical failure with a trailer tire.
