FIRE SAFETY MEASURES IN MOTOR VEHICLES

Unfortunately, many motorists do not always think about the fire safety of their "iron friend". Repairing a car after a fire often does not justify itself, it is easier to buy a new one. Therefore, a fire extinguisher in the cabin is necessary, for example, a spare wheel or a set of tools. Carefully read the instructions for using a fire extinguisher and buy fire extinguishers only in specialized stores that sell Fire Protection Products.

A few tips in case of fire:

- if it burns under the hood, open the lid with a stick or repair tool, as there may be a flame. It is necessary to send the jet of the fire extinguisher to the focus of the strongest combustion;

-if you are in clothes soaked in fuel or oil vapors, do not start extinguishing if your hands are soaked in gasoline-this is dangerous! With the help of neighbors or passersby, remove the nearest vehicles so that the fire does not spread to them.

- if there is a person in the cabin, and the doors are jammed or he is injured, break the doors or knock on the glass with improvised objects (repairman, stone), take him out of the car, provide first aid before the doctor arrives.

Dear car owners, remember that it is easier to prevent a fire than to extinguish it!
