I was driving in a residential area when my sister and I noticed smoke coming out of the hood. We pulled over into a supermarket parking lot, and I tried to pop open the hood but it was too hot. I looked under and saw fire. My sister tried to look beneath the car and saw fire also. She ran into the supermarket to get a fire extinguisher. A security guard came out with the fire extinguisher and opened up the hood for me and put the fire out. After the fire was out, we looked inside to see what looked to be the oxygen sensor wires all melted. The security guard hypothetically stated that there wasn't anything holding the wires up which caused it to touch the motor. My car was towed to the nearest dealership.
