Crews from the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department battled a trash-truck fire Sunday that prompted the evacuation of a Grantville Toyota dealership.
Four fire units responded to the dealership near Mission Gorge Road and Fairmount Avenue after the 3:06 p.m. call. After firefighters arrived at 3:13 p.m., they sought additional resources, including a skip loader.
A high-voltage power line in the area was shut down at about 4 p.m. In a tweet, department officials also noted that they had evacuated the site.
Fire crews pulled back and fought the fire from their trucks, using deck guns, a high-capacity water source.
By 4:30 p.m., the crews extinguished the flames, but planned to stay for an hour longer to ensure that the trash on the truck didn’t re-ignite.
A department incident log listed a total of 27 fire personnel assigned to the blaze.
