A truck caught fire on Highway 154 causing traffic delays Thursday morning.
At 7:17 a.m., California Highway Patrol received a report of a white Dodge pickup truck on fire about a 1/4 mile west of Paradise Road in the westbound lanes.
A few minutes later another reporting party on the scene called to report the truck was fully engulfed in flames.
Santa Barbara County and Los Padres National Forest firefighters responded to the area and extinquished the fire, preventing any extension to nearby brush.
Traffic is slowed in the area as crews await a tow truck to remove the vehicle.
