While parking smoke or steam started coming from under the hood and me thinking the car was over heating pulled the hood release and before I could open the hood flames shoot from the right fender. I run into home depot and yell to call the fire department and ask if anyone has a fire extinguisher and a young man came running out with a good size extinguisher and put out the rapid growing flames. The fire department reported that the fire was started by a short circuit in the right fender.
