A food truck fire early Thursday morning destroyed a small business in Bonita Springs.
The owners of the Between the Bunz food truck told Fox 4 Bonita Springs Community Correspondent, Dominga Murray , that they lost their entire livelihood.
"It's horrible. Now I'm nervous, I don't know what to do," Michael Trovato said.
The damage is so bad, you can barely make out the name of the business on the outside of the truck in the bottom right corner of this picture.

Investigators say the fire started at about 4 a.m. Lee County Sheriff's Deputies who were working in Bonita on US 41 saw the smoke first. They followed it to a storage lot on Bonita Beach Rd.
