Yesterday we went about 40 miles down to the valley and picked up 16 bales of hay. The seller offered to load it so I let them. I didn't care for the way they loaded it and I did not get to check each bale. There must have been a hot bale in the load. We were about 3 miles from home and someone waved at us frantically, I pulled over and the load was on fire. My wife took the dogs and went up the road, her cell phone would not get out so she started screaming for help. Someone heard her a mile away and came and called 911. I had no fire extinguisher only an old jacket, tried to beat the fire out and throw the burning hay off the truck. She was yelling at me to get away from the truck. Finally it got so hot I had to quit. All I could do was stand there and watch it burn. The fire department (Bootjack Volunteers) got there and got it out. The cab and front end is ok but the bed is shot and lines and tanks underneath. The old 86 F250 Diesel is only worth about $2000. I have Comprehensive insurance on it, I reported it to the agent. We will see what they will do.
