The truck which was transporting scaffolding, has been extinguished by firefighters, with the fire contained to the truck.

Damages incurred

Specialist HazMat-trained CFS volunteers are on the scene helping to clean up and contain any diesel and oil, that dropped from the truck during the fire.

No one has been injured and traffic restrictions are in place. The damage bill is estimated to be around $400,000.
