Three oil tankers and a tractor-trailer at North Atlantic Fuels in Epping, caught fire, officials said, setting off a blaze large enough to require the assistance of a crash truck. A truck from Manchester-Boston Regional Airport arrived to provide foam fire suppression, the fire department said.  A Southeast HAZMAT team with 500 gallons of foam also arrived to assist various fire crews on site. 

Video from the scene posted by the Exeter Fire Department shows burnt-out truck bodies engulfed in red-hot flames.

Officials reported that there were no injuries.
