Dive Summary:

• A series of unexplained explosions started a fire at a Warwick, Rhode Island public works site, destroying three nearby sanitation vehicles.
• As the explosions went off, a fire ignited, fueled by the diesel in the on-site sanitation trucks; the fire was so hot that it melted parts of vehicles parked close to the blaze.
• The entire incident will cost approximately $1 million in damages, with each truck costing $250,000 to replace.

From the article:

[Mayor Scott] Avedisian said that no one was injured in the incident and that the cause of the explosions was still under investigation.

He said that the trucks were last used Saturday afternoon and returned empty to the city yard at about 2 p.m.

… Avedisian said the town will meet with the Rhode Island Interlocal Risk Management Trust, an intergovernmental insurance risk-sharing pool for state municipalities, first thing Monday morning to determine which trucks, if any, can be refurbished or if they are total losses.
