I was getting ready to head to my second assignment today when I spotted black smoke coming from what I thought was the edge of the building. I parked the car and ran over to find a service truck engulfed in flames. Luckily two of my colleagues were already on the scene and had shots of the truck on fire. There weren’t any injuries. We ended up putting up a gallery of the scene. Who knew my first shots of spot news this summer would happen in the parking lot?
