Turlock Fire says crews were called to the Northern Refrigerated Transportation campus along West Main Street early Sunday afternoon for a reported trailer fire. Firefighters were soon alerted that the flames were possibly spreading into a building through a loading dock door.

At the scene, firefighters found that a 53' refrigerated tractor-trailer full of product was going up in flames.

Crews were able to quickly contain the fire, but not before an estimated $25,000 in property damage was done and $400,000 in product was lost. Flames did manage to get into the building, firefighters say, but sprinklers helped minimize the spread.

No injuries were reported.

Exactly what started the fire is now under investigation.
