A Newhall vehicle fire prompted a response from firefighters Tuesday shortly after an explosion was heard in the area, officials said.

At 11:50 a.m. Tuesday, firefighters received reports of a truck fire on Railroad Avenue near 13th Street, said Marvin Lim, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

“The fire was knocked down as soon as units got on scene,” Lim said.

Moments prior to firefighters receiving the call, an explosion was heard near Main Street, but Fire officials could not confirm if the explosion was related to the vehicle fire, Lim said.
