A Roseland-area taco truck caught fire Sunday morning, sending thick smoke into the air and totaling the vehicle.
The 2005 truck was parked behind Perry's Deli on Sebastopol Road when smoke was reported billowing out of it just after 6 a.m., Santa Rosa Fire Division Chief Mike Jones said.
The fire was extinguished by 6:46 a.m.
Officials estimated the loss to be $100,000. The cause is under investigation.
Because the truck was fairly new, an electrical fire would be unlikely, Jones said.
The truck had not been used in a couple of hours, and all cooking materials had cooled, Jones said.
