| Description of the problem | On a rocky road at rauch creek offroad park in tremont, pa. I was stopped waiting for my friend to give me directions. He noticed what he first thought was steam coming from under the hood. In fact it was smoke. Within one minute flames were coming from under the hood. Within two minutes the entire vehicle was engulfed. I injured myself in my haste to get out of the burning vehicle. The vehicle was a total loss. I have photo's and videos available of the incident. *js |
