(Milan, Ind.) - Milan and Delaware fire departments were called to Milan High School on Friday morning for a report of a garbage truck on fire.

Upon arrival, crews found that the driver of the truck was able to push the load off and move the truck away from the fire, which occurred near the Milan High School football field press box and bleachers.
