From FFD:

Firefighters arrived to find a Loomis secure armored transport vehicle on fire in the rear parking lot of Chick-fil-A. The fire, located primarily in the vehicle’s engine compartment, was quickly extinguished. Due to the armored vehicle’s electronic entry system not being operational, crews forced entry into the vehicle to ensure Loomis personnel could safely off-load the unharmed monetary cargo to a replacement transport vehicle.⁣⁣

One of the three Loomis employees assigned to the armored vehicle was treated at the scene for minor injuries (smoke inhalation) and released. There were no reports of injuries to Chick-fil-A patrons, employees, community members or firefighters. All of the businesses located near the rear parking area remained operational throughout the incident.⁣⁣
