Description of the problem	I was driving from santa barbara to lompoc along highway 1 around 6:30 p. M. When i first smelled smoke thinking there was a brush fire, but quickly it started to smell like electrical burning. Looking around the truck for the smell while driving i looked out the side mirror to make sure no one was behind me, only to see sparks or small embers flying from my truck onto the highway. Pulling over to the side i jumped out of the truck and pulled my tool box away from the bed to see if something in the back bed was on fire. I could only see flames underneath between the bed and the cab. Fearing explosion i ran to call 911 from my cell phone. Within minutes my truck was engulfed in flames. Nothing left but a big pile of metal. Tools, and golf clubs, gone. *jb
