Equipment mechanic for a small company.
At least it looks like the tire under the cab did not catch, that would have been even worse. Any idea of what started it? Oil leak onto exhaust or electrical? Hope no one was hurt!

Been a while but going from hottest to not,hose blew right onto muffler on a 90 degree day, any cooler and it may not have lit. We will either fix it or buy another one with a bad engine, oregon dirt moving is not a high hour thing usually.
For now its in the pasture tarped up, sad thing is I think fire got to trans as one of the cooler tubes has paint blistered from the inside heat not burnt outside.
