Multiple tractor-trailers were damaged Wednesday night in a fire at a truck stop in Weld County.

Mountain View Fire Rescue said crews were called around 9:50 p.m. for a report of a commercial vehicle fire at a truck stop along Colorado Highway 119, just west of Interstate 25.

When they arrived on scene, they discovered four tractor-trailers on fire, including three that were fully engulfed in flames. Firefighters spent about 20 minutes working to get the flames under control while dealing with explosions from the fuel tanks and tires.

The fire was considered out just before 10:30 p.m., and crews spent another hour at the scene mopping up hot spots. No injuries have been reported and the cause of the fire is under investigation.
