How to put out an engine fire in Subject 4?
2 Answers
When the engine catches fire, you should quickly turn off the engine and use a fire extinguisher or the covering method to put out the fire. Do not open the engine hood to extinguish the fire, as this may increase the fire due to a large amount of air entering. Here is the relevant content introduction: The timing of the Subject 4 exam varies across different regions in the country. In some places, after passing Subject 3, you can take Subject 4 on the same day upon receiving the passing score. However, in many places, you cannot take Subject 4 immediately after Subject 3 and usually need to wait for a week before scheduling an appointment. It is best to confirm the specific implementation details with your driving school instructor.
Subject 4 teaching emphasizes emergency response when the engine catches fire: I must immediately pull the car over to a safe spot by the roadside, turn off the ignition switch to cut off the fuel supply, which can prevent the fire from spreading. Then, stay calm and use the dry powder fire extinguisher prepared in the car to spray into the gaps of the engine compartment. Remember, never open the hood to avoid oxygen fueling the fire and making it worse. If the fire extinguisher is ineffective or not available, immediately move away from the vehicle, call for help, and set up warning signs. Regularly, I check the vehicle's fuel lines and wiring for any signs of oil leaks, especially for older cars, which require frequent maintenance to avoid oil buildup and high temperatures causing a fire. In short, safety awareness should always come first.
