    thankfully, not as bad as i thought.

    well finally saw the damage and thankfully its not as bad as the police were making it out to be. Basically gonna have to repaint the tail gate replace all plastics and emblems and get a new tail light. could have been alot worse.

Luckily tho i found out a random student was walking by saw the flames ran and grabbed the emergency fire hose and put the fire out before any more damage was caused to my truck and other surrounding vehicles. Iam deff grateful that the damage is very minuscule. i was picturing alot worse.

    Lucky you had a good samaritan around. I would have probably watched the old Ford burn and not done a thing until it was too late.
