Description of the problem	On october 7th my ford f-150 started on fire and burned under the hood. I had taken my truck from one side of town to the other about 12 miles. I parked and started to unload some tools out of it and went inside. After about 5 minutes the man i was talking to said what is going on with your truck it is smoking. I ran out to the truck and smoke was billowing out of the hood up the windshield and sides. I pop the hood and flames shot out about 4 foot up from the engine compartment. I was able to put the fire out with a fire extinguisher and a bucket of water from nearby, just plain luck. I had contacted the fire department as the fire was burning and they came out to make sure everything was alright. The tow truck driver came the next day and said this looks like a ford fire so that brings me here. I need to start a complaint and find out where i find a person to investigate the cause of this fire.
