“We were asleep in the truck with the curtains closed. The engine was running smoothly and the air conditioning was blowing cold air. We were awakened by someone pounding on our door. When I opened the curtain, the left side of the windshield was a sheet of flames coming out from under the hood. Flames were also coming out of the left side hood latch access hole and covering the left side wing window. We exited the truck by the right side door and took a picture of the fire within two minutes of getting out. This picture is available. …”
