I JUST STARTED DRIVING MY CAR THIS MORNING, WHEN I NOTICED WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. NONE OF MY ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON, AND THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS IN THE NORMAL RANGE. I PULLED OVER AND CALLED FOR HELP, BUT HAD TO GET OUT OF THE CAR WHEN THE FLAMES STARTED COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. ENTIRE FRONT END OF MINIVAN WAS ON FIRE, ENGINE/BATTERY MELTED, FRONT WINDSHIELD CRACKED/MELTED, HOOD MELTED. FIRE DEPARTMENT CALLED AND PUT OUT FIRE.*AK
