July 1995 Fire

Started 1993 ford explorer and heater fan was on setting 2. Burning leaf smoke started pouring out of the defrost vents (heater selector was set to defrost). Immediately shut off ignition and had to drive other vehicle to work. Will have to remove heater blower motor resistor assembly and clean out debris from blower housing. Noticed burnt leaf smell before but never saw smoke until today.
