I kinda saw one on base in pearl harbor while I was on duty. However it was within a week or 2 of 9/11 so my duty section leader had those of us not involved scanning the pier to ensure it wasn't a distraction.
And back in CONUS, I saw one while driving down the road, all in flames. IIRC the FD was already a the scene. still, it's an eye opening sight...
oh and from the past... maybe the late 80s or early 90s, the Mail Lady's postal vehicle caught on fire too. Some of our mail was singed, some destroyed. Dunno how that one started but I guess she smelled the fire and jumped out right before it blazed up, or so she told us.
