Waste management employee Rogelio Domingo said that he was inside the Student Services Building when he heard over the radio that his vehicle was on fire. According to Domingo, the vehicle had stopped abruptly while going up State Drive.

There was a large amount of smoke and a small fire in the bed of the vehicle before SFFD put it out shortly after its discovery. No injuries were reported.
