A Chillicothe man’s pickup truck has been destroyed by fire.
The Chillicothe Fire Department responded Sunday evening to number 1 Calhoun where a truck was just out of the doorway of a storage barn. Upon arrival, firefighters found a fully-involved pickup burning with a diesel fuel tank rupturing. The department pulled an inch and three quarter hose line with a fog nozzle to get a quick knockdown of the fire. The crew then finished extinguishing the magnesium floorboard with the use of a thousand gallons of water. The engine hood was removed and the engine was cooled.
The fire department report said the 2003 Dodge one ton dual-pickup belonged to Jeff Griffith of 2108 Ridgecrest.
Firefighters were on the scene 45 minutes Sunday evening.
