A dramatic blaze tore through a food truck outside a major American college football match between Wake Forest and North Carolina State, sending plumes of thick black smoke into the sky and forcing a swift evacuation of the area.
Shocking footage captured at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh shows the moment the truck was completely engulfed in flames, with the fire rapidly spreading and consuming the entire vehicle. The incident occurred during the highly anticipated match between the two rival teams.
Emergency services responded immediately to the scene. Stadium security and local fire crews worked quickly to cordon off the area and ensure the safety of fans. While the cause of the fire is still under investigation, no injuries have been reported.
Eyewitnesses described a scene of chaos and confusion as the smoke billowed through the stadium's concourse. "The smoke was unbelievable, it just poured into the stands," one fan was quoted as saying. The quick actions of staff to direct people away from the fire were widely praised.
The match itself was reportedly briefly interrupted as officials assessed the safety of the situation. The game later resumed, with NC State ultimately securing a victory over Wake Forest.
