Truck On Fire!

Coming down the offramp to Escondido last Monday, we saw dark smoke just past the intersection at the entrance to a mall.

 Wow!  A semi cab was engulfed in flames, and a fire truck was just pulling up.
A couple hours later we drove back past the scene.  The cab was toast, but the trailor, which was carrying bakery goods,  was barely burned.
I read later that the two 80 gallon fuel tanks were about 3/4 full, and that after the fire was extinguished, it took several hours for the hazmat people to clean up the mess.
