PHOENIX — A box truck parked at a construction site near the Mayo Clinic Hospital in north Phoenix combusted into flames Wednesday morning.
Construction workers in the area called 911 after noticing black smoke near 64th Street and Mayo Boulevard, according to the Phoenix Fire Department.
Firefighters arrived at the scene at about 10:45 a.m. and found a large commercial vehicle on fire at a construction site. Crews managed to contain the fire before it spread to any nearby structures. No injuries were reported.
The truck contained 50-gallon drums holding construction materials, which hazmat teams believe to be non-hazardous.
Air quality in the immediate area appears to be stable and fire officials are still working to determine the fire's cause, the fire department said.
The Mayo Clinic issued the following statement on Wednesday:
"Mayo Clinic is working with Phoenix Fire Department in their investigation to determine the cause of a fire that occurred at our construction site in Phoenix today near 64th Street and Mayo Boulevard. The fire started in a parked truck carrying non-hazardous construction material. Firefighters responded promptly and were able to extinguish the fire quickly.
