Default Up In Flames...

Saw this yesterday. No other vehicles involved. Don't know how it started.

Not a Fire fighter but to me the hose does not appear to be inflated which tells me no water has been sprayed, yet there is lots of juice on the ground in front of vehicle. Maybe rear end accident and the other car moved when the fire became evident. Hope this is not a case of just driving along and then smelling smoke......then dayyyum ! But there appears to be a hose from the home stretched out there so who knows.

Are you sure you aren’t a Fire Marshall or Arson Investigator? That was some great analysis of the situation.

All joking aside, hope all are ok.

There appears to be some debris on the road 15 to 20 ft. in front of the truck. Maybe a front end collision?
At any rate a horrific scene to a F150 owner.

Looks like yellow police tape over in the yard on the right! or is it a garden hose where some one tried to put it out?

That looks like a garden hose. Must not have been too effective.
