Owner Narrative

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, HAD JUST ROUNDED A CURVE IN THE ROAD WHEN I STARTED TO SMELL SOMETHING BURNING. THE NEXT THING I KNOW THERE ARE FLAMES STARTING TO COME OUT OF THE DEFROST VENTS BY THE WINDSHIELD. I HURRIED UP AND PULLED THE TRUCK OFF THE ROAD JUMPED OUT AND RAN ACROSS THE STREET. THERE I PROCEEDED TO CALL 911. IT TOOK 20 OR MORE MINUTES FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO SHOW UP. *TR
