HALLANDALE BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) - Firefighters brought a tractor-trailer fire under control at a Hallandale Beach business, preventing the flames from spreading to nearby vehicles and structures, officials said.
Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue said crews responded just after 9 a.m., Monday, to reports of a truck on fire in the area of 310 W. Ansin Boulevard at Safe Truck Parking.
When firefighters arrived, they saw heavy black smoke and found another tractor-trailer parked near the burning vehicle, prompting additional units to be dispatched.
About 30 firefighters launched an aggressive attack, using both water and foam to knock down the flames within 10 minutes.
Crews prevented the fire from spreading to a nearby building, though several other vehicles may have been damaged, according to BSFR.
Witnesses say they saw the smoke fill the morning sky.
“All I know is it started smoking in the morning and one of the trucks started burning. The [flames] burned up everything and they spread to the two trucks,” said Erwin Lima, who witnessed the fire.
7News spoke with one worker who said his truck is destroyed.
“I don’t know what happened, nine in the morning I received a call from the parking lot that the truck is burned,” said Ruslan Man. “I come here and I see that somebody’s truck started fire and the two trucks on the side, mine and somebody else [was burned].”
Though it was contained, the cost of the damage remains for their owners.
“The trailer with the car, just the trailer costs about $350,000 plus truck, so half a million dollars each piece,” said Man.
No injuries were reported.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
