Description of the problem | On december 5, 2018, my 2014 ford f-150 fx4 caught fire at the bottom of my driveway. I went out to start my truck to take the garbage to the road for pickup. I put the truck in park and began to unload the garbage from the back of truck. After unloading the last bag, i noticed smoke coming from under the hood, by the time i went to pop the hood smoke and already taken over the cab and a fire had started underneath the passager side dashboard. I rushed to call 911, by the time the fire department arrived the truck was a total loss. The heater stopped working moments before the fire and the fire department ruled it an electrical fire, likely from the heat source. |
