Narrative

A 289D Cat Skid steer belonging to Gerke excavating was working on property owned by Hi Crush Augusta when it suffered a mechanical failure that resulted in said piece of equipment catching on fire. An apparent hydraulic line failure allowed oil to come in contact with the exhaust and/or turbo of the skid steer, causing a fire to start.
