Minot Rural Fire Department officials said firefighters responded to a call of a fire at the Pilot Flying J on U.S. Highway 2 just west of Minot shortly after midnight Wednesday morning.
The fire was isolated to the engine and cab of a truck that was parked in a parking lot away from the gas tanks.
