While operating a D11R Dozer an employee noticed some smoke on the right side of machine and discovered that the machine was on fire. He activated the fire suppression system and said that it seem that only about 1/2 of it went off. He activated the system on the rear of dozer and used a 10 lb. extingusher but called local fire dept. to use foam and about 7:00 pm got fire out.
