How would you put out an engine fire ?

Assuming it's an engine compartment fire, I'd take my HalGuard extinguisher and spray it into the passenger side vent. Not sure where the fan is located, but the blades look open enough for the spray to get into the engine compartment when the fan isn't running. At least that's my plan. For a fire elsewhere, I'd shoot it at the source.

I love my car, but if the fire looks too dangerous, I'm not risking my skin and my life to get underneath, or start pulling carpet from the trunk or frunk.

We carry two small fire extinguishers in our helicopter. I brief my crew that they have two uses:

• If someone is on fire, use it on them.
• If I am trapped in the cockpit, use it to knock me out.

If the machine is on fire, move away to a safe distance and let it burn. If your car is on fire, chances are it will be totaled anyway. Why risk serious injury? Burns really suck. A built in system sounds like a great idea though if you are concerned about the car.
