## Narrative
I started the car  and smoke came from the engine compartment I didnt think anything of it but the smoke keep getting worse . So I pulled over and open the hood to find fire come from on top of the Engine  the flames got higher so I asked an local restaurant for an fire extinguisher I put it but know these cars this could of been an big problem if I had parked in the garage or park next to other cars or even if I keep driving .  It would of not been good!  By this time the Shelby Twp. fire dept showed up and sprayed more water on it.
