Cassandra Miles says about an hour after she had parked her 2001 Ford F-150 in the driveway near her garage Wednesday – she heard the truck’s alarm start going off. When she looked outside she saw her vehicle in flames and called 911.
The fire spread to her home on Waterton Way in Lithonia and did extensive damage. “Everything looked like it started from under the hood on fire,” said Miles. Firefighters on the scene said that type of truck is known to catch fire.
