MOJAVE TRUCK YARD SUSTAINS MAJOR FIRE DAMAGE

A fire at a truck yard in Mojave has caused about $700,000 in damage, but the source of the fire is unknown.

Firefighters arrived just after 2:00 Saturday afternoon to the facility on Trotter Avenue, and found several cement trucks and tires fully involved with fire and exploding. The fire also threatened nearby propane tanks. High wind and a limited water supply made it difficult to snuff out the flames.
