Summer Fire Reminder: Vehicle Fire Extinguisher Prevents Spontaneous Combustion

The day before, when a large truck was driving in the South China Auto World, the rear wheel was suddenly emitting smoke due to heat, and the flames were paralyzed. The fire officers and soldiers arrived in time after receiving the alarm, so that the self-ignition trucks became dangerous. The Changsha City Fire Fighting Brigade reminded that summer is the season of high spontaneous combustion of the vehicle. While car owners pay attention to vehicle maintenance, it is best to have a fire extinguisher in the car and beware of spontaneous combustion .

Firefighters said that when they arrived at the scene, the cargo above the car had been ignited. They tried to save half an hour before they completely controlled the fire. Afterwards, they learned that this large truck did not have any firefighting equipment at all and thus missed the golden time of initial fire control. If the car is equipped with a fire extinguisher, the fire extinguisher can be extinguished at the first moment when the car is just on fire; if there is no fire extinguisher, the fire can only be seen growing from an early age.

Yesterday, the reporter randomly selected 10 private car owners. None of them had fire extinguishers on the car. Firefighters said that owners must improve their awareness of fire safety before they occur. Do not place flammable items such as lighters and alcohol in the summer car. Try not to change the original lines and gas devices of the vehicle. If you need to refit, you should select a qualified shop or repair shop. In the event that the vehicle is found to be on the move, it should turn off immediately and call the police for assistance as soon as possible. When using the truck-mounted fire extinguisher for initial self-rescue, do not immediately open the front hood to prevent large amounts of air from entering the fire.
