    And what would a cigarette in an ashtray catch fire to?
    And to cause the windows to blow out?

    My guess would be the bunk heater.

    Some duct tape and get down the road driver or we will charge you with abandonment.

    "Where's your properly charged and rated fire extinguisher?"

    -Right here, securely mounted under my burning seat, officer.

    I doubt it was caused by smoking. Cigarettes have a safety (for lack of a better word) that makes them go out if not being smoked. Now, that doesn't mean it's impossible for one to start a fire. Just that it is unlikely.
     
    G13Tomcat Thanks this.

    I would think if he was in the truck and not dead, he'd have been able to snuff out the fire if it was started by cigarettes. Unless he's a drinking man and tried to snuff the fire with moonshine.
     
    G13Tomcat and RustyBolt Thank this.
