FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. r — A smoky scorching scene is what first responders found on Monday afternoon as they arrived to a fully engulfed commercial truck.

Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue responded to the flaming truck, which was parked in a spot near Northeast Sixth Street and Fourth Avenue.

Once the flames were out, crews began to get a real sense of the damage.

The vehicle was a total loss for a mobile pet grooming business.

Investigators said the groomer left the vehicle to grab a client from a nearby business and returned to find the truck already on fire.

Officials said there was a lot of equipment inside, from the truck’s generator to essentials needed in the pet grooming process, all of which was destroyed.

There were no injuries reported, human or animal, authorities said.

A Honda that was parked behind the truck was damaged by the fire, with its front end partially melted down because of the intense heat.
