Mwangi was deep asleep and i told him to wake up his brother,infact they got out of the car before me

Once i was out I called the police 911.

A small car and 18 wheeler stopped the driver of the truck tried to put the fire using his extinguisher but to no avail while the drive of the small car offered my two sons to go and sit in his car as the weather outside was freezing,freezing cold.

The State police immediately came in followed by the fire trucks in less than 7mins there extinguished the fire.

I want to mention that I was given the car,make Toyota Camry by my mechanic after i took my car for repair and the good mechanic gave me the car to use as he repaired our car.

I take this opportunity to thank God and the swift police and the fire department personnel that came to our help,

The truck driver and Chris and his wife.
