(KSL News) -- A man is in the hospital after his pick-up truck caught on fire while he was driving it.
Witnesses say the man left work to run an errand and he heard the truck backfire. He then saw smoke so he drove back to the office to try to douse the flames with a hose.
By the time the man got to the office, fire had already scorched his legs and chest, but he still didn't want to leave his truck.
Raymond Kinney, Coworker: "He was completely coherent, knew exactly what was going on. We pulled him back. He was still trying to put it out when we all got out here."
The man's co-workers put wet towels on him until an ambulance arrived.
