I heard gentle click click two sound, do not realized it was from my car (other people was unload stuff). I open the driver side door get ready to off my car and go. I smelled rubber burning. I look around and see my engine had light smoke came out from engine, then became darker smoke, and follow by fire. I called 911, they send a fire department to put off the fire for me.
