A passerby captured video of a porta-potty that caught fire Sunday morning outside of AT&T Stadium in Arlington, home of the Dallas Cowboys. The scene shows thick black smoke rising up from flames just outside the stadium as emergency sirens sound off in the background.

Officials have still yet to announce the cause of the fire. It appeared to be in close proximity to a group of several trees, though it’s unclear whether the brush or porta-potty caught fire first. You can view the video and photos from the incident below.

The fire was in the parking lot and appeared to be a reasonable distance away from AT&T Stadium itself. Hopefully nothing aside from the porta-potty was damaged in the incident, and there have so far been no reports of any injuries.

There’s surely a joke in there somewhere for Cowboys rivals about the franchise being a dumpster, or in this case porta-potty, fire. However, the situation in reality could have been a lot worse than it was, and it’s a good thing that so far there is no word of anything more than a wild-looking scene for those driving by the stadium.

Dallas is currently holding OTAs this month, though those are taking place at The Star in Frisco rather than AT&T Stadium. The team is set to enter the final week of OTAs on Tuesday and will wrap things up Thursday.

Cowboys receiver Simi Fehoko announces birth of first son during minicamp

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Simi Fehoko and his wife, Bailee, picked the perfect time to welcome their first child into the world this week. The third-year Cowboys wideout tweeted on Friday that he went straight from OTAs/minicamp on Thursday to the hospital where his wife gave birth to their son.

With Cowboys OTAs and minicamp soon to be over, Fehoko and his wife can take advantage of more than a month of a break before check-in for training camp next month in Oxnard, California.

Fehoko posted a photo of his son with the message: “Welcome to the world lil man.”

Fehoko added: “Side note; mad respect to women that give birth. Y’all are troopers if anything like my wife.” On Instagram, he shared the baby’s name is Onae Fehoko III.

Prior to his son’s birth, the former Stanford standout posted a video on his story of him doing the Griddy around his wife’s delivery room.
