"The truck went off the road to the left and it hit the guard rail," Seibert told the Sun Herald newspaper.
The trailer flipped onto the median and part of the vehicle ended up on Old Fort Bayou Road.
The driver, Arthur Roger Apple, 73, was taken to Ocean Springs Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The cause of the crash remained under investigation Wednesday by the Mississippi Highway Patrol.
It was unclear whether any of the fire extinguishers survived the flames.
