Well, My truck was distroyed my a fire last sunday(10/4/
03) Every thing from the driver seat forwords is
compleatly gone. It happened totaly unexpectily too. I
was driving a long in the Berkley hill and all the my
radio and radar detector stored to turn on and off. Then
all the light on the dash board come on. So i desided to
pull over. when i prest the brake peddel it went all the
way to the floor and nothing happened. So i applyed
the emergency brake. As soon as the truck stoped,
smoke started billowing out from under the hood. I and
my girfriend get out and she point out that there is fire in
the front left wheel well. At that point i stared throughing
dirt on the fire to try an put it out. That didnt help the
least. so i pulled out my cell phone an called 911. i got
a messege saying "all of our representitive are currently
helping other people, pleas stay on the line and the
next advalable representative will be with u as soon as
posable". By the time i get hold of someone fire is
already comeing out from both wheel wells and out
from the grill. and also at this point the started starts
trying to start the engine. i felt so helpless starding there
not being able to do anything more then watch my poor
truck burn to its death. By the time the fire department
arived the flames were reaching 15 ft into the air. I know
at this point my poor truck was totaled.
