Using a 20-pound dry
chemical fire extinguisher,
he pushed the fire back into

Hougak was not in the

realized he had forgotten

W hen he
returned to the vehicle, he
noticed smoke coming
from under the hood and
called the fire department.
Armintrout said that “ it
appears the fuel line came
off of the fuel filter and
spilled gasoline on the
block,” which caused the
fire
Damage to the vehicle is
estimated to be around
98,000 The total damage to
both the pickup and its con
tents is estimated to be
around 917,000. Included in
that figure was a mobile
