What to Do If a Car Catches Fire?
1 Answers
Solutions for a car catching fire are: 1. Turn off the car engine and try to pull over to the roadside, then brake and turn off the engine; 2. Exit the vehicle immediately and move to a safe location as quickly as possible, as a car fire can easily lead to deflagration or explosion; 3. If the fire appears stable without signs of deflagration, urgently use the car's equipped fire extinguisher to put out the fire, while calling for rescue; 4. Do not blindly open the engine hood, as doing so could allow a large amount of oxygen to rush in, increasing the fire; 5. When the fire threatens nearby houses, utility poles, or flammable and explosive materials, isolate the fire scene to prevent further damage.
