Amtel Gyorfi's truck engine caught fire in Houston on Oct. 5. Emergency vehicles were called out and put out the fire quite quickly.

Amtel Gyorfi's truck engine caught fire while he was driving in town on the afternoon of Oct. 6.

He parked in the Houston mall parking lot and let emergency crews handle the fire.

Gyorfi bought the 1992 truck only a day earlier, and it had been running fine up until the sudden engine fire, he said.

The small fire was taken care of quite quickly by the fire department crews, but Gyorfi says he is disappointed about the loss because insurance on the old truck wasn't much.
