How to Respond When an Engine Catches Fire While Driving

[StLondon]

When an engine catches fire while driving, you should quickly seek help from others and always keep a fire extinguisher in the car. The specific steps are as follows: Seeking Help from Others: Seek help from professionals and avoid making phone calls for assistance while remaining in the car. While the driver exits the vehicle, all other passengers, especially the elderly and children, should also get out and wait in a safe area, avoiding staying in the car where safety hazards exist. Keeping a Fire Extinguisher in the Car: Always keep a portable fire extinguisher in the car and learn how to use it. Generally, a car fire can be extinguished with the onboard fire extinguisher when it first starts. If the fire is too large for the extinguisher to handle, decisively borrow fire extinguishers from passing vehicles. When fighting the fire, remove any synthetic fiber clothing to avoid catching fire. If no fire extinguisher is available, use sand or soil from the roadside to cover the source of the fire.
