Helicopters were put on standby and five fire trucks sent to help after a "food truck" caught on fire while being driven through a high fire risk area near Queenstown tonight.
Dramatic photos show the truck fully ablaze on the Glenorchy-Queenstown Rd near Wilson Bay, about 10 kilometres south-west of Queenstown. No one was hurt.
The alarm was raised at 6.13pm, southern fire and emergency shift manager Brent Dunn said.
