MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A truck caught fire on a lake in central Minnesota Wednesday evening, but no one was hurt.

According to the Stearns County Sheriff's Office, a Kimball man was trying to remove his fish house from Pearl Lake in Maine Prairie Township when he noticed a small fire under his pickup truck's engine compartment.

The man tried to put the fire out by throwing snow on it. He left to get a fire extinguisher, and when he came back the truck was fully aflame.

The Kimball Fire Department responded around 8 p.m. and extinguished the fire.
