Narrative

The contact owned a 2019 Ford F-350 hauling a small trailer with 2 horses. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 60 mph, another driver waved him down and informed him there was a fire from the front of the vehicle. The contact merged to the side of the road, parked, and exited immediately. The contact attempted to open the hood but was unsuccessful in doing so as the hood had become too hot to touch from the fire brewing inside. The contacts stated that he and his wife who was the front passenger occupant were able to unload their horses from the trailer just in time, as the entire truck engulfed in flames all within ten minutes. The origin of the fire was undetermined. No injuries were sustained. The location of the fire was the front of the vehicle. The fire department arrived to extinguish the fire. A fire department report was filed. A police department report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed. The remains of the vehicle were towed to a local towing company's lot.
