Man Burned At Coeur d’Alene Library

Update: Official Coeur d’Alene Fire Department report

At 8:44 a.m., the Coeur d’Alene fire department responded to a man engulfed in flames in the parking lot of the Coeur d’Alene library. Some city workers digging a hole in front of the library told a Spokesman reporter that it looked like the guy had been sleeping in his orange and white GMC pickup with a canopy when he emerged and lit a cigarette at the rear of the vehicle and suddenly burst into flames. A fire official on site said the man had second degree burns. The back of the pickup was black and charred.
