A semi-trailer truck caught fire and later exploded Tuesday night at the Co-op Cardlock fueling station on 9th Ave and North Service Road NW.

Burk Reiman, who lives nearby, captured the incident on his farm's security camera and took pictures of the aftermath.

Reiman said he started up his loader just in case the fire could not be contained and the truck had to be moved off the road. 

Luckily, the fire department were able to douse the blaze by around 9:15 p.m.
