Fire crews were sent to the above location after reports of a vehicle on fire. When they arrived crews found a telehandler to be on fire and set to work using hose reel jets to extinguish the fire, and environmental pads to absorb pollutants from the run off. The telehandler was approximately 70% damaged by the fire, and there was also damage to some overheard telecommunication cables and adjoining poles.
