What Should You Do When the Engine Catches Fire While Driving?

[StAnnie]

If the 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: 1. Seek help from others: Ask for assistance from professionals, and avoid making phone calls for help while sitting 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, which poses safety risks. 2. Always keep a fire extinguisher in the car: Keep a portable fire extinguisher in the vehicle and learn how to use it. Generally, a car fire can be extinguished with the onboard fire extinguisher in its early stages. If the fire is large and the extinguisher is insufficient, decisively borrow extinguishers from passing vehicles. When fighting the fire, remove synthetic fiber clothing to avoid catching fire. If there is no fire extinguisher, you can use roadside sand to cover the fire source.
