FIREFIGHTERS in northern NSW have had a lucky escape from one of their trucks that caught alight in a sudden wind change.
Crews were protecting properties around Moree on Monday evening when a sudden wind change blew a fast-moving grass blaze towards a truck parked between homes and the fire front.
"The truck was engulfed in a matter of seconds, with firefighters quickly abandoning their vehicle and seeking refuge nearby from the fire," Fire and Rescue NSW commissioner Greg Mullins said in a statement.
"Trucks and equipment can be replaced but people cannot and I am thankful that no one has been injured in this incident."
There have been no confirmed property losses in the area.
A replacement vehicle has been sent from the New England region.
Firefighters will continue to battle the three-hectare fire throughout Monday night.
