Description of the problem	On jan. 19th, 2012 my jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon edition (with auto tranny) caught on fire. Just prior to that the engine had cut off. I lost all power. My co-worker indicated that the cars coming towards us were flashing their lights and honking their horns. I looked in the rear-view mirrow to see if there was someone behind me, and saw a trail of smoke from my jeep. I had no dash warning lights indicating a problem, and according to the deputy sherriff, who was traveling towards me during the situation, the vehicle was already on fire. We drifted to the next pull off and jumped out of the vehicle, after putting it in park. I realized at that time that the vehicle was still moving forward, and had to jump back in to apply the parking brake to stop it from rolling down the street. My co-worker said that there appeared to be something on fire under the hood, and i told him not to open it, so he went for help. I proceeded to remove my work and hunting gear. I managed to get my payroll checks, deposit checks, and my tool bag out of the vehicle before it was fully involved, both inside and out. As i reached into the back to grab my tool bag, i noticed that the front passenger comparment was already fully engulfed in flames. Neither of us was hurt, except for some smoke inhalation. I am thankful that i did not have my family with me, that we were not traveling down the interstate, or that i did not make it home and park the jeep in the garage. From the time the jeep shut off until it was fully engulfed in flames was approx. 45 seconds. In talking to me "off the record" the inspector from jeep said that he believed that "due to the amount of blow-back damage the vehicle was already on fire while driving it, and that it was most likely a fuel line rupture issue. But he didn't want to formally state that until he was finished. *js
