Firefighters in New Hampshire battled a five-alarm oil tanker blaze that broke out on Saturday night, authorities said.

Harrowing videos and photos posted to social media show plumes of smoke billowing out as members of the Exeter Fire Department try to douse flames with water. 

“Exeter firefighters along with crews from several communities continue to work the scene of a massive fire involving three oil tankers and a tractor-trailer at North Atlantic Fuels in Epping,” one tweet posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, says.

The blaze required the assistance of a crash truck from a nearby airport to facilitate the effort. The crash truck provided foam to suppress the fire.

The fire is now under control. 

Officials said there were no injuries.
