PLEEEEEEEEEEEASE HELP FAST!!!!

I was off to class (from work) and I go to start the car and before it turned over I heard a semi-loud POP. It definitely came from the drivers (left side) of the car. I immediately reverse the ignition switch and listen for anything (hear nothing) and watch wafts of smoke (light) come out from the front grill. I get out..wait...and dont hear anything so I lift the hood and think maybe it's a coolant hose pop (even though that's on the R-side...no.
What I do see is smoke coming from the channel that commects the air filter housing to the throttle area etc. So from wherever there was an explosion...it had to have been within this channel.
From anyone's opinion with experience...what does this mean & do I dare try to start it again? Could it puff up in flames? Have an extinguisher..but I'm at work...want to avoid the Thurs evening drama.
Could it puff up while driving??
Help!! Thanks ahead!
