A local car dealership loses some inventory when one of their cars catches fire.
A 2002 Ford Truck caught on fire at MB Auto Sales on Chester and 30th Street just after 4 pm Thursday afternoon.
The dealer say he saw smoke coming from the truck and when he went to check it out, it burst into flames.
He tried to move the truck next to it to protect it from getting damaged, but says the flames were too hot.
Total loss is estimated at about $30,000. Bakersfield Fire Fighters believe a faulty cruise control started the fire.
