| Description of the problem | I had my mom, aunt and 2 small kids in the truck we were on the way to drop my mom off at her home. Once i pulled up in front of her house we noticed the truck smoking. I got out of the vehicle and looked under the hood. I observed wires burning from that point i closed the hood so that the vehicle could cool off. I then walked my mom to her front door as i walked back to my vehicle i observed my truck on fire. I immediately rushed to the vehicle and got my kids and aunt out of the vehicle. The fire department was called and responded within 7 minutes. By the time the fire department responded my truck was in full flames. |
