Well what is he supposed to do throw dirt on it? How many people carry a device around that puts out a fire? However I was amazed that you took a picture of it and sorry for the loss.

Well I would do what ever I could to put the fire out...if that meant using mud then so be it...wet grass, drain water... anything...yank off the top radiator hose and use cooling water. I would franticaly use absolutely anything I could lay my hands on to put the fire out. I have 2 fire extinguishers in the GT4 and one in the Corolla...its always always the first thing I buy for my car after watching my mates car burn and being powerless to do anything about it but the fire was behind the dash so we had no choice. Everyone should carry a fire extinguisher by law. But I`m glad that it wasnt too serious and that noone was hurt, its a horrible thing to watch. I`m sure it will soon be sorted out and as good as new  -------------------- |

I`m sure it will soon be sorted out and as good as new there was nothing i could do. even the rad hose was IN the flame. I was waiving/flailing my hands like a idiot apparently cause no one in FL here stops for you even where there are flames shooting from your hood. they couldn't give 2 sh*ts.  I really do think i am going to invest in a mini fire extinguisher; a fire was THE last thing i expected opening that hood- i need to be better prepared. I can't say "when will i ever use a fire extinguisher" anymore. -------------------- ◊◊◊ My F/S Thread! ◊◊◊
