Food Truck Fire Covers Wake Forest, NC State Stadium in Smoke

During the Wake Forest vs. NC State college football game at Allegacy Federal Credit Union Stadium, a food truck owned by Choc's Barbeque Co. and Southern Catering caught fire, sending thick smoke across the stadium and into the stands. Despite the dramatic scene, which was broadcast live and involved a worker using a fire extinguisher to battle the flames, play continued without interruption, and there were no reported injuries. The smoke initially appeared when Wake Forest led 14-0, but they eventually lost the game 34-24 after NC State scored 20 unanswered points. The incident became a memorable and talked-about moment among fans and commentators, highlighting the unpredictable and quirky nature of college football events. Safety inspections for food trucks were noted, though the risks inherent in cooking in such mobile kitchens were acknowledged. Both teams now prepare for upcoming matchups, with Wake Forest facing Georgia Tech and NC State traveling to play Duke.
