Description of the problem	Incident happened on july 21st 2017 at 1:45pm at 9701 dessau road, austin texas. I was coming around the corner at dessau and rundberg heading north and i felt the car skip a little and had some loss of power. I pulled into the parking lot at 9701 dessau and the car was smoking and the brakes went out. I pulled the emergency brake and then opened the hood, there was fire and black smoke coming out and i ran inside to get a fire extinguisher. It looked like the alternator failed and caught on fire. The fire spread under the motor cover and burned some of the hood, but i got to it quickly and minimal damage was done. I could have crashed and died.
