Anyone know what caused the fire?

Anyone know what caused the fire?

I'm assuming electrical. Someone who witnessed it said it started around the neck.

Saw a tweet that an electrical fire of some sort was suspected.

Big Tex had been on a downward spiral for weeks. He wasn't taking his 60th birthday too well.

This is where he was spending his coffee breaks.

Someone left the giant coffee maker on, and that is what happens.

hmmmm, 2013 Big Tex should vomit barrels of coffee.

He reminds me of Pedro from South of the Border on I95.
