Default Air filter fire

I know we have all heard of this, but to see it is awful. My friend was following me. Next thing we saw was flames out the side of his hood, about 3 feet in the air.

He said he was driving along, everything was fine, started downhill, and the engine popped and next thing flames.

It was the same story, little drips from the carb, absorbed by the paper, and when he downshifted, a little backfire, and poof.

Minimal damage, and he had his extinguisher right with him.
