Firefighter Robert Cole surveys damages after extinguishing the fire.

Firefighters clean up after extinguishing this 2005 Chevy Silverado owned by Al Iside of Golden Valley. Mr. Iside said he was driving the truck when “The horn began honking and the engine sputtered”. When he opened the hood, the gasoline fed fire had engulfed the engine compartment. “The whole thing just caught on fire and spread fast” said the owner. Engineer Dusty Osborn reported a fully involved truck fire upon arrival on Shinarump Road. The truck valued at $15,000 was a total loss reported Assistant Fire Chief Thomas O’Donohue. Chief O’Donohue said to move away from car fires due to the explosive nature of the gasoline and never try and retrieve valuables from a burning vehicle. There were no injuries reported.
