UPDATE (9:15 a.m.) - Firefighters say a quick call to 911 helped them put out a fire in the back of a pickup truck in San Luis Obispo where a propane tank was also located.
The call came in at about 7:37 a.m. Monday for a fire on a truck in the Righetti Ranch construction zone.
Fire officials say once crews were on scene, they found the bed of the truck "significantly involved" in fire.
A short time later, the propane tank was discovered.
Fire officials say cooling measures were performed on the tank while the rest of the fire was put out and a valve on the tank could be closed to mitigate any further risk.
