July 2001 FireDeath

I was driving my ford f-150 1992 and I stopped at lowes. I cut my truck off and proceeded into the store. I come back outside and my truck was on fire. Several employees attempted to put out the fire but it did not work. The fire department had to come and put it out. They then stated that it was due to an electrical problem and filled it as that. My work is now gone due to that and I don't know what to do. If possible please help me because I don't know what to do. My truck is my money maker and now it is gone.
