Sorry for you loss. I know it is too late now, but if instead of going for water you had disconnected the battery, the fire would of gone out. Team of firefighters at car fire, 1 tool to rip hood open, 1 hold extinguisher, another bolt cutters for battery cable.
It went from what seemed like a tiny fire to a big one in a matter of seconds. I tried to get the hood open but it was too hot to get to the latch underneath where the plastic grill was burning.
All my life I have made it a point, unless the hood was at risk of damage when open, I always make a point to have the hood open, just as a indication somebody might be moving around outside that vehicle, and not watching other traffic.

WOW ! so sad to hear of your loss
OP said 'right' side and am guessing driver's side.
One of my pet peeves; Does the truck have a top? A front? Bottom? Back? Then why in Sam Hill can't folks agree where the right side is?
