Yeah, it's stalling according to John Harrison as he described it in his book Redefining Stuttering. You have a mental block on the word 'truck' or the 't' sound and therefore you keep repeating the word 'fire' until you feel ready to say it. It feels like you are in a loop that you can't control sometimes.
