A warehouse on Lillard Drive in Sparks was evacuated Thursday morning after a truck caught fire, but employees have returned to work.

Sparks Fire says it was reported just before 7 a.m. Thursday, December 15, 2016. Fire crews found a vehicle and nearby landscape on fire. People at 475 Lillard Drive were evacuated while crews put out the fire. There was no damage to the building and no injuries reported. There was only minor damage to a nearby fence.
