MY DAUGHTER WAS HYSTERICAL FOR JUST BEING STUCK, I TURNED AND TOLD HER TO CALM DOWN, WHEN I TURNED BACK AROUND I SAW FIRE IN THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR, I TOLD MY FAMILY " IT'S ON FIRE, GET OUT". I OPENED MY DOOR TO GET OUR AND WAS ENGULFED BY FLAMES, I QUICKLY EXITED THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. I YELLED FOR MY DAUGHTER THREE TIMES, SHE HAD RAN A LONG WAY AWAY FROM THE TRUCK, BECAUSE SHE WAS FRIGHTENED. WHEN I HAD HER IN MY SIGHT I STARTED FILMING.
