The fire spread to 12 other trucks before firefighters were able to get it under control.

No injuries were reported.

Contract Transport Services President Curt Reitz told WBAY that the truck that initially caught fire had been parked for at least a day prior to the fire: “We were able to watch surveillance footage and we know the truck had been sitting for 24 hours prior to the fire. So, it hadn’t even been running on Sunday.”

The state Fire Marshall is investigating the cause of the fire.
