A moving truck company in San Francisco trying to get back up
and running at full speed here
after more than half of its fleet of vehicles were damaged in a fire.
The business's owner believes an arsonist is responsible for that fire.
As KTVU's Amber Lee reports for us tonight,
this is a major setback for the small company.
Mark Reiser arrives to work at One Big Man and One Big Truck Moving
Company in San Francisco's Bayview neighborhood and finds more than
half the fleet of vehicles destroyed or damaged by suspected arson.
I was shocked at first.
I mean, when I came, I was the first one at the office.
I saw a little bit of burn on the door.
Because I think they tried to burn the building as well.
Wolf Matt, the owner of the company,
shows us this video posted on social media
of the fire that broke out on the property
on Halloween night shortly after 11 o'clock.
He says he's leasing the space from the port of San Francisco.
It's painful. I bought every single vehicle.
And so there is an emotional attachment to it.
Mark says the residential moving company was started in 1983.
He became an owner in 2001.
It's a small company with just 18 employees.
Now he says four trucks are destroyed
and one is damaged but may be repairable.
That's more than half his fleet of nine vehicles.
You can see how the fire department cut in through there.
There are security cameras, but he says port officials
have told him they did not capture what happened
because the cameras were not aimed in the direction of his vehicles.
He tells me, fortunately, the fire department's response was quick.
As for who may have started the fire, it could be targeted.
An arsonist targeting the port,
it could be a person that just has a disorder.
Mark says each truck costs $150,000 to replace
and they're difficult to locate.
He has insurance but says claims take time to process.
With the help of rental vehicles,
the company has not canceled any jobs.
So far we're getting by the way we are.
It's just a lot harder.
Matt says he suspects the person responsible jumped
the fence to access the property.
He says part of the problem is there's no lighting on this lot.
Matt tells me he's working with the port to improve security.
Overall.
We're just putting things in perspective and moving forward
and trying like to rebuild and hopefully we come back stronger
and better than before. So that's the goal.
A spokesperson for the fire department tells me investigators have not
ruled out arson but have no further details to release at this time.
The owner has started an online fundraiser to help keep
his business afloat. In San Francisco, Amber Lee, KTVU.
