When fighting a fire, every second counts. If the fire extinguisher is placed in the trunk, the rescue time will be greatly delayed. Therefore, the car fire extinguisher should be placed as close to the driver's seat as possible and in a position that is easy to access, such as under the driver's seat or the front passenger seat. The specific introduction is as follows: 1. The most critical thing is to extinguish the initial fire: When the car has a burning smell or emits thick smoke, the owner should immediately understand that this is a precursor to spontaneous combustion and take action as soon as possible. First, park the moving vehicle in a safe and less crowded place as soon as possible, quickly cut off the oil circuit and power supply, and prepare the fire extinguisher. 2. Spraying the root of the flame is effective: When extinguishing the fire, do not rush to open the hood completely, because the air flow will cause open flames to appear, so be careful to avoid it. Choose to stand in the upwind direction, turn the fire extinguisher upside down several times to loosen the dry powder inside. Hold the middle of the fire extinguisher with your left hand, pull off the safety ring on the pressure handle with your right hand, and aim the nozzle at the most intense burning point to press the pressure handle. Do not spray at the surface of the flame, but aim at the root of the flame to spray, quickly push forward, and confirm that the flame is completely extinguished before moving the fire extinguisher away. After the vehicle has cooled down, check it again. You can refer to the usage method of the dry powder fire extinguisher to correctly operate the fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire.
