A food truck in the Puyallup area caught fire earlier today.
In a Facebook post published at 10:12 a.m., Central Pierce Fire and Rescue said crews were on the scene of a vehicle fire at Fifth Street Southeast and 39th Avenue Southeast.
“Upon arrival, crews found heavy smoke and flames visible coming from a food truck,” the post said. “Firefighters quickly stretched hose lines to begin fire suppression efforts. No injuries reported.”
Brianna Stenstrom, spokesperson for Central Pierce Fire and Rescue, told The News Tribune the food truck was Tin Hut BBQ. She said the call came in at about 8:24 a.m., and the truck was towed at about 9:30 a.m. or 10 a.m.
Crews blocked the roadway at Fifth Street Southeast and 39th Avenue Southeast this morning, but Stenstrom said they reopened the roads shortly after the truck was towed.
“Our Central Pierce fire deputy marshals are determining the cause,” Stenstrom said. “They probably won’t have the investigation complete until the end of this week, early next week.”
