Consumer Description

AT APPROXIMATELY 2:30 AM, NOVEMBER 10TH, MY HUSBAND HAD JUST GOTTEN BACK FROM THE STORE, AND HAD TURNED THE TRUCK OFF. THE KEYS WERE NOT IN THE IGNITION AT THE TIME. HE WAS SITTING IN THE TRUCK FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES, WHEN HE NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD. HE OPENED THE HOOD, NOTICED FLAMES, AND TRIED TO PUT IT OUT WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER. WE CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, BUT BY THE TIME THEY GOT TO THE HOUSE, THE ENTIRE CAB OF THE TRUCK WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE HEAT WAS SO INTENSE IT MELTED THE SIDING OFF MY HOUSE. THE TRUCK WAS USED FOR HIS BUSINESS, AND HE HAD TWO CHAINSAWS IN THE BACK THAT WERE DESTROYED. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING LEFT. *TR
