10 MINUTES.

>>THERE TWO PEOPLE ARE BEING

TREATED FOR BURNS AFTER A FIRE

INSIDE A TRUCK.

FISHER IN THE BREAKING NEWS

TRACKER.

JOE?

>> WE ARE LEARNING THAT TWO

PEOPLE INSIDE THE TRUCK WHEN IT

BURN INJURIES.

I WANT TO STEP OUT OF THE WAY

BECAUSE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE

TRUCK FROM THE OUTSIDE, THERE

IS NOT THAT MUCH DAM BUT I WANT

TO SHOW YOU INDIVIDUAL YES FROM

-- VIDEO FROM INSIDE.

HE HAD SOME SERIES BURNS.

HE WAS MAKING HIS ROUNDS JUST

ARE THREE THIS MORNING WHEN HE

SAW SMOKE BILLOWING FROM THE

TRUCK.

BY THE TIME HE GOT OVER, THERE

ONE OF THE MEN WAS ABLE TO GET

OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE.

THE OTHER WAS TRAPPED INSIDE

THE SLEEPING AREA.

WILLIAM SAYS THAT HE GRABBED A

FIRE EXTINGUISHER KNOCKING DOWN

IT THE FIRE ENOUGH TO GO IN AND

PULL THE MAN OUT HE SAYS THAT

BOTH MEN DO HAVE SOME BURNING

INJURIES.

I DID TALK WITH THE FIRE

MARSHAL HERE ON SCENE IN HARNET

COUNTY.

HE SAYS THAT BOTH WERE TAKEN TO

THE HOSPITAL.

WILLIAM SAYS THAT THE FIRE

APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM BELOW

THE SEAT IN THE CAB OF THE

TRUCK BUT, SO FAR,

INVESTIGATORS SAY THEY ARE

STILL WORKING FOR DETERMINE A

CAUSE.

I DO WANT TO POINT OUT I ASKED

LEE WILLIAMS TO COME ON CAMERA

AND TALK ABOUT THIS.

HE WAS MORE THAN WILLING TO

TALK ABOUT IS OFF CAMERA SAYING

THAT HE IS NOT A HERO, BUT A

LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD BEG TO

DIFFER CONSIDERING THAT HE WAS

ABLE TO GET INSIDE THAT TRUCK

TO PULL THE MEN OUT TO SAFETY.
