Default What a day...

I am at work, get a call to come to the front and move my truck. I grab my keys and walk outside, literally there is a car parked next to my truck... engulfed in flames! I broke into a full speed run, jumped into my truck and moved it. As I was backing up, there were loud pops and pieces flying off of the vehicle on fire.

No damage to my truck, but I was wound pretty tight for the rest of my shift.

That'll get your adrenaline pumping. As said you were lucky, you or your truck could have caught some of that flying debris.
