Description of the problem	I was driving my 2014 ford escape for about 10 min. On whitney mill rrd. In ontario county new york. When i got an alert on my dash board. It said engine over heating pull over ( or something along those lines) i look down at the tempeture gage as i was pulling over. The needle was in perfect position between hot and cold. After i stooped ( about 30 seconds at t he most) i got out, open the hood and saw flames coming up in the back of the engine between the engine and firewall. I instructed my wife to get herself and the dog out of the vehicle. Then i began throwing snow onto the area where the fire was coming from. In my opinion keeping the fire contained. The fire department eventually show up ( guessing 15 min.) they took over from that point. Sprayed fire extinguisher on the engine and remove pieces of the engine compartment to get a better look at the fire and make sure it was out. Then a tow truck came and took it away.
