What should I do if my vehicle spontaneously combusts?
The first time to cut off the power and get out of the car
In the process of driving, once the vehicle fire, the driver should remember the following steps: stop, open the door, power off, evacuate, place a warning triangle, and call the police.
If the door cannot be opened, the safety hammer and tools in the car should be used to smash the window, evacuate the person to a safe place in time and call the police.
The fire is extinguished
Spontaneous combustion of a car usually starts in one part of the fire and then spreads. If the fire is detected early and limited to a small area, and there is only light smoke, a vehicle-mounted fire extinguisher can be used.
If you don't have a fire extinguisher, ask for help from others and cover the fire with blankets and sand.
Medium heat talks about methods
If smoke has begun to rise from the engine compartment and flames are coming out of the cracks, it means that the fire has developed to a more serious level, so do not open the hood rashly to prevent air convection from increasing the fire.
You can pull open the hood, expose a slit, spray fire extinguishing agent inside, and wait until there is no smoke. Only then can the hood be opened and cleaned up.
Never touch the hood directly with your hands to avoid burns!
Run on fire
If the fire is not effectively extinguished within 3 minutes, you should leave immediately, evacuate passengers, onlookers or non-professionals who are kind enough to help in time, and call the police on 119 for fire help.
