Overland Park firefighters saved the bacon Thursday. A tractor-trailer hauling more than 1,300 piglets to Iowa stalled out with a mechanical issue on northbound U.S. 69 Highway near 151st Street Thursday morning. The driver told police he worried that without air circulation or water, the piglets could die in the heat. The Overland Park Fire Department was called to the scene and spent about 30 minutes spraying water from a fire hose through vents in the trailer, cooling the piglets off. That was enough to preserve the payload until another truck came by to pick up the pigs.
