The truck was in the parking lot of Coast Fraser Tower when a fire started underneath the hood.

The YKFD responded as quickly as possible and were able to put the fire out without the flames extending beyond the vehicle. Fire officials also checked inside the building, making sure smoke did not make it’s way into the air vents.
