Nikola, a startup company that makes electric and hydrogen-powered semi trucks, said in a tweet Friday morning that several of its trucks had been damaged in a fire at the company’s Phoenix, Arizona headquarters.

“Foul play is suspected as a vehicle was seen in the area of the affected trucks just prior to the incident and an investigation is underway,” the tweet said. A Nikola spokesperson reached by CNN said more information would be released as it became available. The first report of a fire was around 4:30 am MT, Phoenix Fire Department captain Todd Keller said.

The trucks were among more than 30 stored at the headquarters facility, Keller said. He could not say whether arson could be a factor until the fire department completed its investigation, a process that could take days or even weeks, Keller said. Nikola’s stock price dropped roughly 8% by late afternoon on Friday. Executives with the company are currently seeking shareholder approval for a reverse stock split intended to boost the company’s stock price, which currently stands at about $1.
