What owners wrote

It was driving fine and I pulled into a parking lot and noticed that the steering became really hard then smelled something burning so I parked then started seeing smoke come from underneath the hood so I opened it and saw a small flame toward the back of the engine luckily I had a jug of water in the trunk and put it out and there was power steering fluid sparyed all over I'm assuming the fire melted a hose. The car still start but it doesn't sound good probably melted the spark plugs wires I'm sure .
