It was right about here where Daddy yelled, "Fire! Fire!" and jumped out of the moving truck because he could see flames coming up from between his legs! Uncle Al jumped down from the back and yelled to mom to give him his bottle of water. She did, and he took a big mouthful and then spit it on the fire. The seat where Daddy had just had his hiney was really on fire!! Uncle Al kept drinking and spitting until finally, Rubernay found a fire extinguisher and put the fire out. No one was hurt, but they laughed pretty hard. What had happened was that Daddy was sitting on the battery, and his weight shorted out the wires which then sparked and caused the fire. They were able to fix it well enough to keep going, but from then on, the truck was known as the red firetruck. And Daddy was noted as almost burning the truck up!!
