There were 174,000 vehicle fires in 2021.
I have had two such fires. The first was a 1973 Dodge Dart with a weak oil pump. Things got too hot, small fire in engine, block cracked, but the rest of the car was okay as gas tank was in rear. Threw in a used slant-six for $300 and was riding again.
The second fire was a Grand Marquis, also under the hood. I was warned there were engine issues and was pondering a rebuild of the 4.6. No overheating, but smoke started coming into the cabin. It was early AM, and I was in a store parking lot, someone called the fire department, but eventually the whole car caught fire, with flames shooting 30 feet high. The car was a burned out husk.
Both cars were older and had known issues. The fires were also easy to put out.

Thanks for the mention. I think folks have a pretty good
beef here.
I’ll be glad when they have perfected the sodium chloride
replacement for Lithium.
