I heard on the radio just a few hours ago that the driver felt the road moving, put the truck in reverse and was trying to back out when it collapsed right underneath him. If he hadn't already been backing away, it probably would have swallowed the whole thing. Don't know what else he could have done.
The Station Fire that as of today is only 60% contained and is the largest fire in Calif history, 160,000 acres, was deliberately set. They found the ignition point a few days ago and it's now a homicide investigation because a Fire Captain and one of his men were killed when their truck went off a mountain road escaping the fire and tumbled over 800 feet down a ravine. Most of the biggest, most expensive fires of the last few years were set. They caught one guy a year or two ago, convicted him of murder or manslaughter because people were killed and he's put away. It's really unbelievable that you can have all the fire prevention neighborhood meetings in the world, do it all right and some low life just pulls off a deserted mountain road for a minute and starts it.
