When crews arrived they found a truck fully involved and the fire had spread to the grass quickly due to the dry conditions.

The WFPS wildland fire units were deployed and quickly brought the vegetation fire under control.

The pickup truck was destroyed in the fire.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
