The incident occurred in an workplace park at 1745 Shea Heart Drive, Highland Ranch.
“The hearth began in a rubbish truck and the driving force dumped the contents into this open lot to avoid wasting the truck,” SMFR stated. No constructions have been threatened and nobody was injured.
Firefighters remained on the scene to verify that embers didn’t drift within the wind and spark a close-by extension of the unique fireplace.
The short-thinking driver rapidly dumped the load, partly, as a result of the truck operates on compressed pure fuel, which is probably explosive.
The reason for the fireplace is beneath investigation.
