MY SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THIS CAR ON THE INTERSTATE. SHE NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM BEHIND THE CAR AND PULLED OFF. A FIRE FIGHTER HAPPENED TO BE BEHIND HER AND HE OPENED THE HOOD AND SAW THE TOP OF THE ENGINE ON FIRE. HE CUT THE BATTERY CABLES AND PUT OUT THE FIRE. DAMAGE TO THE CAR WAS MINIMAL. THE ENGINE WIRING AND HOSES WERE EITHER COMPLETELY MELTED OR DAMAGED IN SOME WAY. THE FIRE BURNED FROM CENTER ENGINE AND MOVE ACROSS TO THE LEFT REAR. *JB
