Only tow truck fire I can remember was when Baltimore Police called me around 2 or 3AM one morning to tell me that one of my trucks was found in grass plot of nearby highway NO FIRE, They also said they had an employee who was walking along the road near the fire with the keys for the truck in his pocket. Truck was a total loss.
Never knew why he had the truck out , as the station closed a 9PM and truck was locked in building on closing.
Needless to say that employee was dismissed on the spot.
Seems to me the fire you talked of most likley happened exactly as you said, and my statement at the time sounds just about the way I would have handeled it. Back then I was not a people person. Age and time have rounded the edges a bit.
