(Boulder City Police Department)
A Boulder City Disposal trash truck caught on fire around 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 8, near the intersection of Industrial and Wells roads creating a large plume of black smoke and causing a loud explosion. No one was injured and a crew that included Interim Chief Steve Walton remained on the scene for a couple of hours to clean up a minor fuel spill. Jim Ferrence of Boulder City Disposal said there was no disruption to service and the fire was likely caused by hydraulic fluid leaking into the engine’s electrical system.
