The Carls JR. drive thru was blocked off for almost an hour around 5pm Tuesday when a fork-lift that was transporting pallets in the Laufou area caught fire. The drive flagged a vehicle that was standing in line at the drive thru to give way while he made his way over to pallets without realizing that the forklift which was now smoking had flames coming out of the bottom of the vehicle.When alerted by the drivers standing in line , the driver of the fork lift jumped off the fork lift, ran into the Carls Jr. kitchen, came out with a mop and tried to snuff out the fire. When that didnt work, he went back in and came out with a Carl's Jr. employees both armed with buckets of water and attempted to douse the flames. It only spread the flames out even more. The police and fire department arrived shortly thereafter and managed to put out the fire.Luckily no one was hurt.
