I set out from work for home yesterday and as I was driving down the street I could smell rubber burning. Then I saw the van in front of me starting to smoke, and the smoke started getting heavier and heavier untill it is billowing out the right front of the van. The driver is still apparently oblivious to the problem.
Then I see the flames. I pulled the guy over and this little old guy who must have been 90 gets out. his right front bumper is crumpled and rubbing into the tire, creating the friction and setting it on fire.
I called the fire department, then grabbed some bottles of water out of the back of the car and doused the burning area.
I always keep a case of water in the back for personal survival purposes (you just never know when you are going to need water to drink) and now I have used it to put out a guys car.
I did not attempt to open the hood. Leave that to the fire department.
