No offcial word is out on what caused the fire in the truck, but the fire was started by the truck somewhere near the engine compartment.”

At around 9 p m my wife and I where sitting on our sofa when she noticed flames in front of our house through the window. Upon opening the door we noticed flames coming out under the wheel well and the hood. At that time I retrived a fire extingusher from my truck and put out the fire.
