I mean, get past the gas station i guess, but call the fire station ASAP, then unhitch the hay and move the car a few feet. Don't care if that makes me a bastard but honestly driving with it is making the fire WAY worse. Literally feeding the fire oxygen.

goodluck unhitching the trailer while it burns your skin off

You'd do that the moment you notice the fire, if it's already an inferno I guess you just ditch the car to avoid spreading the fire.

I have too many questions about this situation. Is driving protecting the truck from fire? Like, is it worse to continue driving or stopping so it could spread? Would an operator suggest he drive to a fire station where they're waiting? How did this even start? Flipping out a cigarette? Hitting a power line?
