The pickup truck and the equipment trailer hitched to its rear belonged to a concrete contractor. Flammable items such as fuel were in the trailer, prompting a hazmat response for the fire.
As of 4:30 p.m., the fire was out and fire crews were washing the trailer down. Crews also diked off dams and diverted runoff to keep the fuel out of storm sewers.
