A garbage truck's load caught fire in Sacramento County on Tuesday morning, authorities say.

California Highway Patrol says the incident happened just before 7 a.m., with the garbage truck coming to a stop on Hazel Avenue, near Phoenix Avenue, in the Fair Oaks area.

It appears the garbage truck dumped out the load so that firefighters could more easily deal with the flames.
