I can't stop thinking about what happened and why did it happen...and what could I've done more to kill the fire.....
The answer is I needed a big axe! I have two 2kg. fire extinguishers an they were more than sufficient to kill the fire even when it seemed to get spreaded under the hood. I needed an AXE or a big crowbar. Thats all was needed at that moment
I took the time to prepare myself for such a scenario before the 2015 Morocco trip
1)I have fussible links on the batteries. All of them are fused
2) I have kill switches...one under the hood and one inside the truck
3) Two 2kg fire extinguishers that are a second away from me. I use them as an arm rest.(Some of you have seen them)...
4)emergency bag behind the drivers seat
....Unfortunately...no axe or a crowbar....
I DID NOT HAVE AN AXE!
Huge mistake!
No matter how long we'll speculate on what, when, why ect. Reality is different! You have only about a minute or two to realise what is happenenig and about a minute ot two to react! After that is out of your control....unfortunately!
