A pick-up truck is a little worse for wear after bursting into flames Sunday in Essex.
Essex Fire and Rescue were called to Malden Rd. near Batten Side Rd. for a vehicle fire at around 1pm.
Chief Rick Arnel says firefighters arrived to find a pick-up truck engulfed in flames after a load of hay had likely combusted due to the heat.
The driver noticed smoke coming from the back of the truck and attempted to knock the burning hay out of the truck-bed, but it was too late, according to Arnel.
He says no-one was injured, but the truck is a write-off.
