Vehicle Fire; INC#1061; 02:38PM; 6638 N Elmer Av; https://bit.ly/3yYHUUe; North Hollywood; PRELIM: First arriving LAFD crews have contained and are continuing their efforts to fully extinguish a burning City of Los Angeles trash truck in a residential alley. Flames from the well-involved vehicle (and still on-board residential refuse) were prevented from damaging nearby homes, but did damage an adjacent power pole. The vehicle operator escaped unharmed. Firefighters will allow Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) now leaking from a tank aboard the vehicle, to continue to burn in a safe and controlled manner until the fuel is exhausted. There is no off-site or escalating hazard. Fire cause under investigation.
