scene fire officials interviewed the driver and determined there were
kerosene heaters in the bed of the truck.
The Fairmount Fire Department extinguished the vehicle. The driver indicated
a passing motorist told him the bed of his truck was on fire as he was
traveling west on Bartley Road. Investigating officials indicated a
lit cigarette falling into the bed of the truck may have ignited the
