USPS said the letter carrier was unharmed and recovered all of the mail inside safely

CHANTILLY, Va. — Residents in Chantilly, Virginia captured on video a U.S. Postal Service truck that caught fire while delivering mail Saturday.

Andrea Jacobs and her daughter, Michelle Jacobs, said they were on their way home from a shopping trip around 2:15 p.m. when they saw flames coming from the 4000 block of Silas Hutchinson Drive.

At first, Andrea said she thought it was a house that was on fire, but as they pulled up closer, she realized it was a mail truck that was engulfed in smoke and flames. WUSA
