A charred Coca-Cola delivery truck sits outside a Publix after crews extinguished flames behind a DeKalb County shopping center.

A Publix was evacuated after a Coca-Cola delivery truck caught fire Tuesday behind the store in Atlanta, DeKalb County fire Capt. Dion Bentley said.

Bentley said he is not yet clear if the fire spread to the Publix, located in the 2100 block of Henderson Mill Road.

The truck was parked at the loading dock when it caught fire and spread to another tractor-trailer, Bentley said.

No one was injured.

The cause of the fire has not been released, but the fire appears to have started in the cab of the truck and spread to a mostly empty trailer, according to DeKalb Fire officials.

The Publix has since reopened.
