Another four trucks were involved in the incident at the vehicle maintenance site.

A hazmat team eventually determined the tanks on the truck were no longer leaking, according to a fire department social media post.

A crew from the Phoenix Fire Department assisted in putting out the flames.

There were no injuries.
