No I'd say its the sawdust. Its a sawdust truck and those trucks get sawdust build up on the exhaust pipes under the cab that can smolder frequently on a hot day if it builds up. Usually the highway speed will blow it all away, but he didn't get far enough for that to happen... likely was already on fire when he pulled out of Brink, but didn't realize it until he got onto Carney.
