## Narrative
While driving on the interstate a fire started under the hood and shortly after smoke entered the driver cabin.  Luckily I was able to pull over and get out of the vehicle before the fire reached the  driver cabin. It is going to be investigated by a company hired by AAA, the appraiser from the insurance company was not able to find a cause due to the fire damage being too bad. The first warning message was engine coolant overtemperature and a couple of others followed.
