The blaze was reported at 5:19 a.m. in the 1500 block of Clyde Waite Drive. Crews arrived to find flames coming from trucks parked in a fenced lot near the woods that back up to the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

Video from independent fire videographer Ron Roberts shows the heavy flames that firefighters arrived to. On Tuesday, the burnt cabs of the truck remained in the lot.

Crews at the scene worked to build a sand dike to prevent fuel from leaking into a nearby storm drain, Dippolito said.
