Engine compartment fire in 2006 S430 mercedes-benz ? January 16, 2014 as I accelerated to get on the road, I smelled a strange odor. I thought it was coming from a truck we passed. I opened the window & turned off the heater to clear the air in the car. In a few seconds, I closed the window and re-started the heater, which immediately filled the cabin with heavy smoke. I again stopped the heater and opened the window. The smoke cleared and smelled something burning. A few seconds later, I saw flames coming right out of the air duct grill in the hood. I pulled off I-275 between exits 63 and 65, on the right shoulder. I then hit the mercedes sos button. My passenger dialed 911. When the mbrace operator came on the line, I said that I had an engine fire, but the cabin was filling with smoke. I opened the hood, I grabbed my phone and exited the car. At this point, started taking photos. I took a windshield cleaner spray from the trunk, tried to extinguish the fire with it. It failed to have any effect. About at that time a good samaritan stopped his pickup truck. He had a fire extinguisher, which he used to put out the fire. A few minutes later the union township fire engine arrived, but the fire was out. They did a report. Then the union township police arrived. The officer said the report will be filed by the fire dept.
