Consumer Description

I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON THEN THE CAR JUST CUT OFF AT THE TURNING LIGHT BEFORE I GOT TO MY HOUSE. IT STARTED TO SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD. I THOUGHT IT MAYBE OVER HEATING. SO I POPPED THE HOOD OPEN THINKING IT WOULD STOP SMOKING BUT IT GOT WORSE. SO I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND OPENED THE HOOD. THE ENGINE WAS ON FIRE. SO I RAN AND GOT WHAT I CAN OUT OF MY CAR WHILE I WAS ON THE PHONE TALKING TO 911. WHILE I WAS DOING THAT, A MAN WAS DRIVING BY STOPPED AND GAVE ME A FIRE EXTINGUISHER SO I PUT OUT THE FIRE. THE FIRE TRUCK CAME A MIN LATER. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS. *TR
