| Description of the problem | I was driving home from work, had driven about 40 miles as i do every day. The person in front of me on the highway had stopped to turn and as i stopped to wait on then, i noticed smoke coming from under my hood. I immediately pulled to the side of the road in a safe place and opened the hood and noticed that my jeep was on fire behind the engine. I called my wife and then she called 911 while i grabbed my work stuff out of the back. Within minutes the jeep was engulfed in flames. |
