That's the only thing I can think of that would keep the fire going after an extinguisher and 2 bottles of water, fuel was leaking against the hot exhaust and re-igniting itself. Most of the fuel lines under the car are metal, there might have been a part of it up by the engine that was rubber that wore out, or even chewed through by a small animal. Really good to have solid splash and skid shields with a little custom under-body work on off-road vehicles to keep water and critters out, even if you're not planning on putting a snorkel on it, it should be damn near air tight.

Of course he's staying calm, most likely because he knows he has a good insurance company and he's going to get a new from the jeep show room floor.

Wow! This guy did everything right. Good job!!

damn it you did a really good work containing this fire. really glad you had that shovel on you. also imagine if this happens to you in a shtf situation. that is why it is important to never go alone.

I see multiple camera video and picture, hand held and on a tripod of various stages of the fire starting. It would have been good to put all effort into getting the fire under control rather than taking pics and vids of it. I know if was only a little bit of pictures but just think about that, fire is happening and stopping to set up a tripod? I would have been focused 100% stopping the fire.

Geez, This is so crazy. I am so glad you are alright! Great work to keep the fire contained and keep a good PMA! Thank you for you content!

When you have a jeep JK and the new JLs come out. Time to upgrade! All while enjoying this delicious coconut water beverage! Lol this guys awesome!

Glad your ok Casey. You have a very positive attitude and clear thinking.

more likely dry brush contacting the 500+ degree F catalysts. These actually are hotter at the output than the input. Remember this when you are driving in tall brush. Another reason to delete the catalysts. Thank you EPA, you caused another venting of poison into the atmosphere....

@@thewatcher611 Not likley. By the way he's explained where the flames were coming from and how fast it went up more then likely a flammable liquid started it. The cats aren't located anywhere near where the fire started. Also a skid plate that covers the exhaust from catching long grass under the jeep. Trust me I've got one and off-road it a lot with jeep groups.

This was extremely educational. Thank you for putting this great video together while going through all this! Props to you for staying calm and collected throughout!

So sorry to hear that Coyote. Glad you're ok!

Excellent work and idea stopping the spread. Sad to see such a nice truck go like that. Keep up the good work.

Good on you for staying so calm, sorry for your loss..

Pretty scary incident. I thought you handled it exceptionally well.

Gonna need more than a new paint job! You're a class act! Kept a cool head, set your priorities and survived still standing tall when most fall at such an incident. I salute you! Outstanding video. Learned a ton. Thank you! Can't wait to see you back on the trails!

Having been in the car biz for 26 years in service and 10 years with Chrysler Jeep, this is most likely a catalytic convertor fire created by an oil leak down the back of the bell housing area. I have seen these before.

@garyjennyfrost9485

Yup. I had a catalytic converter that started glowing bright on an old early 80's Honda Civic. Scared the c*** outta me. Thankfully I was not out in the middle of nowhere, and It didnt burn down the car. Did partially melt the carpet below the gear shift.

Glad your ok man, thanks for the vid. From central Canada here talkin

More than likely, and its really common. Hot catalytic converters on dry grass. usually happens on the side of a highway, but its possible here.

This was a grass fire, I can pretty much guarantee you that. I live in Oregon and during the winter and spring months we get a lot of rain which causes the prairie grass to grow quite thick but when summer comes around and we start getting 100+ degree days the grass dries out and the high desert turns into a tinderbox.

​@@DaebakMonkey I can pretty much guarantee you it's not a grass fire. For one he would have had to have a large nest of grass big enough to get lodged in there to not fall out while he was driving or fall out when it caught fire, like the size of a melon. Go look a primitive fire nest how large they make them, it would need to be that size. It only takes a tiny small cut in the wiring to short the electrical wiring. If he had a spod switch system installed or any modifications that go through his fire wall, like 90% of Jeeps do, and wiring was damaged when the routed through the firewall which appears the fire is coming from, then it was wiring.

I guess I should clarify what I meant: it started as a grass fire, then things in the engine compartment started to burn as a result of the heat such as wiring hoses, belts, etc.

Casey I'm glad you're ok, sorry for the loss of the jeep Rubicon, I'm sure by the way you carry yourself you're veteran of the Arm forces. Your military training of working under stress and keeping focus of the situation at hand helped you get through it brother, I know as a veteran and others who served in military all know prior to any operation or mission always carry your basic survival and recovery items.

@@CoyoteWorks01 Even if you were able to get the fire out it's still one of those situations where being unprepared could be deadly. It would've probably spared all of the gear, rooftop tent etc, but you wouldn't have been able to drive it out of there. Honestly, it's a total bummer and big inconvenience but being prepared like you are "padded" the fall is the best way to say it I guess.

If you've been planning yo set your car on fire then of course you're prepared.

The Australian outback is full of burnt out SUV's where people drive for hours through tall dry grass, often growing on the hump in the middle of the track, which gets stuck around the exhaust system . They then park and make camp and the hot exhaust starts the grass burning.

This was the perfect case of insurance fraud, nothing more. It's a fact not opinion. He's getting investigated as we speak. By video taping it showed he had no concern in putting it out before it ignited. Funny how people's egos eventually get them in trouble.
