Kevin Nelson of North City said that he had just started walking his dog around 5:45pm on Friday, October 23, 2020 when he heard a car horn going non-stop.

They rounded a curve and came upon a truck, completely engulfed in flames.

The truck was on 25th Ave NE at NE 184th. 

Another neighbor reported that the driver knocked on her door to ask for a fire extinguisher but the fire quickly grew beyond that stage.

The fire department arrived was able to put the flames out quickly.

Correction: the time was 5:45pm
