There are many causes of car fires, and the probability of occurrence varies from one cause to another. In many cases, spontaneous combustion accidents caused by leaking gasoline and aging electrical wires account for the majority of accidents.
In general, there are roughly the following causes that can greatly increase the chances of auto spontaneous combustion: leaking gasoline pipes, aging electrical wires, leaking transmission, modified cars, etc. Improper maintenance, dirty engines, smoking, storage of lighters and other human factors can also lead to auto spontaneous combustion accidents.
The best way to avoid auto spontaneous combustion is to regularly check and maintain your vehicle to prevent it from happening in the first place. Even if your own vehicle is not a big deal for daily use, you should still do a regular checkup. First, check the engine, oil and electrical systems for leaks and deterioration.
Owners can also keep a fire extinguisher in the car. When you notice a burnt smell or smoke coming from the car, stop the car immediately, apply the handbrake and turn off the power. Then quickly leave the burning car, remove the fire extinguisher, to the fuel tank and burning part of the cooling fire to avoid an explosion. To find the fire accurately at the first time, use the fire extinguisher to put it out. If it is found late and the fire is very large, you should get away from the scene as soon as possible and call the police in time.
If you find the fire in time at the beginning of the fire, but do not have the fire self-rescue conditions, learn to take mutual rescue measures. For example, in the vehicle shuttle street car fire suddenly occurred, they do not carry a fire extinguisher, do not panic at this time, to stop in time to pass by the vehicle for help, borrow others to put out the fire in a timely manner, or request car friends to participate in the fire together, so that you can greatly improve the efficiency of the fire, shorten the fire extinguishing time, thereby reducing the economic losses caused by fire.
