Here is another one where a guy opens the hood. Opening the hood on a fire may be a bad thing since it just gives it more air. In the event of a fire how would you hit the engine with the extinguisher?

Here they try to use several extinguishers but it doesn't do any good.

I currently don't have a tranny temp gauge but I'm going to get one installed. It looks like atf fluid leaking on the exhaust is a common cause for fires. Expessially when the K5 are worked hard in mud.
