## Narrative

A miner hauling ore noticed an ""odd light"" and stopped his truck.  Flames shot into the operator's compartment and he could not get the fire extinguisher. Due to extensive damage to the truck, the exact cause of the fire is uncertain. We suspect that a flammable liquid in the engine compartment ignited by engine heat or an electrical spark. The truck is a total loss.
