A fire in Northwest Dallas sent plumes of black smoke into the air Thursday afternoon.
Jason Evans with Dallas Fire Rescue says around 3:30 several people called 9-1-1 to report an 18-wheeler on fire in a parking lot near Manana Drive and North Walton Walker Boulevard.
By the time firefighters got to the scene, the fire had spread to other vehicles, including school buses.
There were reports of an explosion. Evans says the vehicles involved were Compressed Natural Gas vehicles, and that explosion was a CNG tank.
Crews worked to put out the fire as well as spray water on other vehicles to keep the tanks cool.
