The burning truck was in a precarious position, nearby a home, a fence and other structures, but firefighters doused the flames within a minute of their arrival, before any neighbouring structures were damaged.
Vernon RCMP attended the scene while firefighters worked to clear the area of any hot spots.
No one was injured in the incident; BC Ambulance was not called to the scene.
The cause of the fire is unknown at this time, but the truck appeared to be a total loss.
