Three of the trucks sustained “significant” damage and there was minor damage to two vehicles at the Kirkham Road storage yard blaze about 1.40am on Sunday 3 March.
FRV crews found five trucks “well alight” and threatening a building on the property, an FRV spokesperson said.
Firefighters brought the scene under control within 10 minutes, preventing the blaze spreading to the building.
A community advice notice was issued for smoke in the area.
Fire crews remained on scene for the next few hours, to ensure the scene was safe.
