A truck caught fire in an alley between Terminals 5 and 6 at the Los Angeles International Airport -- and the men of the LA Fire Department were all like, NBD.

WABC-TV reporter Josh Einiger shared a video of the moment the LAX fire truck showed up to take care of the blaze:

Truck on fire? No big deal.

Although the fire is out, the disturbance may cause problems for a while longer -- because of what was in the truck.
