Show i i ii - - , jit' : -'r 4 ' M ! f r i tmcn m it' Fire damages City truck A Cedar City Corporation garbage truck suffered approximately ap-proximately $3,000 to $4,000 damage Tuesday evening when its contents caught fire. According to Neil Gentry equipment captain of the Cedar City Fire Department, the fire started from hot ashes someone had left in their garbage can. The ashes were then transferred into the truck when the trash was picked up. When the garbagemen noticed the fire in the back of the truck they rushed to the Cedar City landfill, but when they arrived, the fire had already caused enough damage to render the hydraulic dumping system inoperable. Gentry noted that such an accurance happened qu'te often, "too often," he added, shaking his head. I1 |
