January 9, 2015

Investigators say a mechanical failure in one truck started a fire that destroyed two semi-trucks and trailers early Wednesday at Alpine Food Distributing in Milwaukie, Oregon.

Damage was estimated at $500,000.

KGW reports no one was hurt. Clackamas firefighters prevented the flames from spreading to the nearby building.
