What should not be used to extinguish a motor vehicle fuel fire?
1 Answers
When a motor vehicle fuel fire occurs, water should not be used for extinguishing. Here are the relevant details: 1. Reasons for not using water: Water cannot be used to put out fuel fires because water has a higher density than oil. When oil and water are mixed, the oil will float on top of the water. Not only does this fail to extinguish the fuel fire immediately, but it may also spread the fuel and expand the fire area. 2. Correct actions during a fire: If a fire is discovered, quickly call the fire department at 119. When reporting the fire, provide clear details including the exact address, location of the fire, type of burning material, size of the fire, your name and phone number, and send someone to meet the fire truck at the intersection.
