This truck fire appeared routine on arrival. The driver reported no occupants in the truck and no hazmats in the box. You’ll see a quick knock down with water and foam, but burning magnesium kept burning through the foam blanket. Usually more H2O will suppress this type of burning metal fire, but sand was used for final extinguishment in this case.
