It took Calgary firefighters roughly 20 minutes to douse a garbage truck fire on Oct. 27, 2022.
Global NewsCarol Henke, public information officer for CFD said the initial call came in around 7:50 a.m. and crews had it under control about 20 minutes later.
No injuries were reported.
The garbage truck had roughly 200 kg of garbage on board.
Firefighters had to use a special type of foam to extinguish the fire.
