Today Kaysville Fire crews were alerted to a fully involved vehicle fire on Sunset Drive.  Upon arrival it was discovered it was a shingle truck on fire.

The workers in the truck left the boom up while driving down the road which hit one powerline on the west side of the road and then another on the east side of the road where the truck came to a stop.

Amazingly no one was electricuted and both workers escaped from the truck.

Kaysville Fire responded to the call with Engine 61, Engine 62, Brush 61, Fire 601, and Fire 602.  Crews got a quick knock down on the fire which could be seen miles away, using both water and foam to attack the fire.
