While trucks were approaching the Chief requested Fire Marshals to the location. He also directed apparatus to get a water supply, and prepare for a possible evacuation of the shopping center. Firefighters directed multiple hose steams to try to knock down the truck fire and also try to keep the propane tanks cool. Information from the truck's driver was helpful to determine the location of the tanks, which were not visible to firefighters. After the fire was deemed safe to approach the vehicle, firefighters and Fire Marshals removed the tanks away from the still smoldering hauler.
