Coulson Aviation in the U.S. state of Oregon says one of its Lockheed large air tankers was lost.

The cause of the fire has yet to be determined.

Investigators believe the fire began much earlier because it was burning heavily when firefighters arrived.

Firefighters managed to contain the flames to just the shop building, and extinguished the blaze a few hours after arriving.

A westbound Ford Mustang slid off the road at highway speeds and rear-ended the unoccupied fire engine, trapping the car's driver.

Andersen encouraged smokers to ensure cigarette butts and any ashes are out cold before discarding them.

This story will be updated as more information is released.

Fire crews are being flown into the area.

It was first reported Monday at an estimated 500 acres in size.

No property damage or injuries had been reported as of Wednesday evening.
