most everything plastic is melted including 1/2 the battery, top of radiator, filter, fuse box, wiper nozzle, vacuum hoses, filter suction pipe. bov may be damaged, wiring to fuel injectors melted, spark plug cover gone, hood partially destroyed (may be salvagable).
i will say this, those Perrin silicon hoses held up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i had 2 foot high flames coming out the hood vent & the hoses never went!!! there isn't even coolant leaking. i highly recommend silicon hoses on ALL cars. they have a breakdown temp of about 338F.

Sorry to hear what happened...glad to see nobody got hurt. Hope your insurance covers the damage!
So the hint is "rain protection", well that isn't an easy one...Hmmm...did you put rainX or something of that nature on and it somehow caused a fire in your engine bay? (it doesn't make sense to me either)
FOR GOD SAKES! Spread the word before this happens to someone else!
