Hit the wall once and the corner workers came running over to help me, then they covered the car with Purple K fire extinguishers retardant. When we got home and looked at the damage, the Purple K dust had eaten all of the aluminum in the engine compartment, and corroded the bear metal. But it did prevent the fire and that was good.
