in my old car some wire for loose and grounded itself and i got a fire under the hood, thank god there was a fire extinguisher at hand and i put it out before it had a chance to burn anything else.
just had to replace that one wire...why would you let your car burn down is beyond me, or you may not like/enjoy your car enough

If it was a small do-nothing fire that I could put out without much calamity, like a little something in the front boot, I would put it out. But anything coming from the engine - I would rather my insurance bought me a new car than deal with bits and pieces of burned parts and extinguisher fluid crud, and contention over what should have been replaced and wasn't, and over time discovering yet another thing that was damaged but not noticed, etc., etc.
