That is a really nice truck, I do hope you can get it fixed.
I am amazed the truck did not catch fire a second time as you drove it home, you were very lucky. What would you have done if it had started burning again halfway home?
You should ask to talk with the store's general manager. I suspect you'll find the counter clerk did exactly what the store trained him to do, and that is what they expect all their employees to do in the future as well. If you seriously wanted to buy the fire extinguisher, you could have tried putting $100 or more in cash on the counter with a promise to cover any additional costs, but that probably would have been unsuccessful too.
I don't think you can blame the clerk for your fire. Calling him names seems wrong to me because:
It wasn't fault you didn't check over the truck before driving it (if you had checked the oil would you have seen the nest?).
It wasn't his fault you continued driving after you smelled smoke until smoke was pouring out of the hood.
It wasn't his fault you didn't have your own fire extinguisher in the truck.
When you asked for his help he did everything he was allowed to do to help you. If the guy with the fire extinguisher had not been there, would you still have been angry that the fire department showed up and refused the fire departments help?
Sorry for the rant, millennials are not the only people who like to blame others for their problems.
