You better get you a fire extinguisher!!!!

Took the truck around the block yesterday to see if the fans where working right and to see how the new exhaust sounded, pulled back up in front of the shop and flames where coming out from under the hood. I jumped out and the grass was on fire from front to back of the truck. Luckly the water hose was laying next to it so I ran behind the shop and cut it on and ran back and put out the flames under the truck. After everything was put out I got to scratching my head and couldn't figure out why this happend, got my old man to watch while I cranked it up and he saw fluid coming from the front of the motor. The damn power steering hose had blew out of the compression fitting and was spraying fluid all over the header. If this would have happend while I was out on the road the truck would have brunt to the ground becasue I didn't have a extinguisher in the truck. I am going to get on today for both my trucks. Just a heads up guys, i don't want anyones trucks to burn up because your were dumb like me.
