Well guys.... I just had a truck that was on fire....... It happened in my engine bay. I was trying to take out the fuse to the amp (My sub is not working right now) and I didn't want power to the amp. So I had a steel wrench no rubber wrap handle and I was loosining the bolts to release the fuse and the wrench slipped out of my hand...... one end was still conected to the bolt and the other end landed on the Power terminal and there was a perfect connection and that wrench turned cherry red in about 2 seconds....I shit you not..
My first thought was to grab the wrench.....(Lesson Learned) So after I regained consciousness I punched the wrench which in turn fell on top of the wheel well liner and immediately combusted into flames.. The wrench melted through the liner and hit the ground. but the flames were still flaming I always keep a fire extinguisher in my truck and got the flames out...
Moral of the story Use rubber grip tools when working around the battery.... and don't fuck up.
I have pictures that I will upload soon.....
