Firefighters in Napa County were quick to act Monday afternoon when a truck caught fire off Kreuse Canyon Road. The fire, which started around 3:05 p.m., was promptly extinguished by the local brigade before it had a chance to spread to nearby vegetation.

According to Patch, images shared by the Napa County Fire Department show the white pickup truck ablaze from underneath. When firefighters doused the flames, the truck was completely destroyed. Despite the potential danger, no injuries were reported.

Cal Fire’s Napa County Firefighters, often on the frontline of battling regional structural and wildland fires, responded from Station 25. Their swift action was crucial in containing the damage exclusively to the vehicle.

After snuffing out the truck fire, crews remained vigilant, watching for possible flare-ups. "Crews will remain at scene to ensure complete extinguishment and investigate the cause of the fire," a statement from CAL FIRE LNU indicated, underlining their commitment to public safety and thoroughness in duty.
