At 12:36 p.m. a 2008 Dodge Ram pickup truck driven by Jamie Adams, 45, of Livermore Falls was on Haines Corner Road when he heard a pop in the engine compartment. The cab filled with smoke and burst into flames, Adcock said.
Some small propane tanks in the back exploded, he said.
Adams was not injured.
Both trucks are a total loss, Adcock said, and were towed from the scene.
