UP 1379 on fire

I went down to the yards tonight (UP North Yards, Salt Lake City). I saw UP 1379, a GP40-2, on fire. The fire was right at the rear edge of the fuel tank, and confined to below the frame. I don't know if they had a fuel leak that caught fire, or what.

It looked like just UP personnel put it out - I didn't see any fire trucks. Somewhat to my surprise, they kept using the unit (part of a two-unit switch job).

I didn't get any pictures. It was dark, and there was a fence in the way.
