As the car drove through the road, the driver sensed the heat on the backside, and as he turned, the fire was growing, and it was spreading slowly toward them.

Because the entire delivery truck was made of fiber, the fire grew, causing the riders to abandon the vehicle.

According to Senior Fire Inspector 1 Rey Pacris of BFP-Makilala, the fire burned P150,000 worth of hotdogs, which were supposed to be delivered to Kidapawan City and Midsayap town.
