A pick-up truck used at a Maryland sand and gravel plant went up in flames overnight in a blaze being investigated by the Office of the State Fire Marshal.
In Caroline County, members of the Goldsboro Volunteer Fire Company responded at 2 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 28, to the Bridgetown Shore Sand and Gravel Plant on Oakland Road in Henderson when a neighbor reported a vehicle fire in the area.
It took a team of eight volunteer firefighters more than 40 minutes to get the fire under control, though a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado truck was destroyed by the flames, according to the fire marshal.
The estimated loss to the company is approximately $10,000. No injuries were reported.
Officials said that the area of origin and preliminary cause of the fire are both under investigation.
