I WAS DRIVING, AND I SMELLED SMOKE SO I DECIDED TO PULL OVER. UPON CLOSER EXAMINATION I DISCOVERED THAT THE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE GARAGE DOOR OPENER, WHICH I NEVER USE! WHEN I TOUCHED THE COVER FOR THE GARAGE DOOR OPENER IT WAS HOT. WITHIN A FEW MINUTES MY CAR WAS FILLED WITH SMOKE, AND A SMALL FIRE BEGAN TO BURN IN THE TOP CENTER CONSOLE CONTAINING THE GARAGE DOOR OPENER. I OPENED ALL THE DOOR WINDOWS, AND ALSO THE SUNROOF TO CLEAR THE INTERIOR OF MY CAR OF THE SMOKE. I MANAGED TO PUT THE FIRE OUT BY TAKING A SIP OF WATER FROM A BOTTLE, AND SPITTING IT ON THE FIRE! *TR
