Shit. How is it under the hood? Looks like it started in the front drivers corner. Battery failed?

Yeah it was front driver. I luckily had none of the nitrous equipment hooked up. I used my full 10lb extinguisher and it didn't even phase it. A guy stopped to help and we used two more 10lbs, still didn't phase it. It took the fire dept two hours to put it out. But it was the front axle that gave way. Luckily got the family out in time!

Dang man, Im really sorry to see that :(
Glad you and the family is A-OK:hug:
BTW...N2O isn't combustible/flammable:thumb:
Its compound structure breaks down under heat (550* F, IIRC) and then free's up the oxygen from said compound, therefore, at that point you can add more fuel to get more power:D

I know I just didn't want it to amplify the fire or have any problems with the insurance. The hood really kept it from blazing, no oxygen. Once the fire dept propped it open the flames really shot up!
