This is an excellent question! My AOS blew (I think original after 115K miles) 2 weeks ago and I was very lucky to know what was happening (thanks to constantly reading this forum!). All the smoke that started billowing out of the car as I quickly pulled off the highway and into a walgreens parking lot made it look like a car fire, a bad car fire.

This scared a few people and one tow truck driver who was on the road with me pulled over, ran up to the driver side door, and checked to see if I was still okay. He then proceeded to run to his truck and hand me a fire extinguisher! I reassured him (and by now an embarrassingly large crowd) that the car wasn't on fire. But, when he handed me the extinguisher, I had your exact question; what the hell do you do if a fire happens???

Hopefully someone else on this forum has thought of this too, especially all you DE and autoX racers!
