    They grabbed the extinguisher but the one they had malfunctioned. We jumped in the rigs at camp immediately(I have an extinguisher)and headed that way with a lot of the skinny pedal used. When we got to the trail head they said to go back because it engulfed the vehicle very quickly and we could hear the tires and shocks exploding. It's a big loss and everyone was hurting about it today but we still went about trying to have a good day wheeling and keeping our friend's spirits up.

    I would have thrown the fire extinguisher in the fire. The explosion might have put the fire out

    Damn! I thought you were joking. It looked like those left-overs had been there awhile. Glad everyone is ok and hope insurance picks up the tab.

    How does it just catch fire like that? Must have been a hard crash to puncture something

    This is what I am thinking. Or somehow a ruptured fuel line.

    It rolled over completely once and then came to rest on the passenger side. Everyone is unsure why the fire started and spread so quickly.

    It was definitely oil or fuel on the exhaust cause it started right under the engine. We had time to put it out honestly but the only fire extinguisher we had , didn't work. So all we could do was wait it out.
