When a car is on fire, it will not cause an explosion immediately unless it contains explosives. The scene of a violent explosion after the burning of a car designed in the movie is "defective" here. This kind of erroneous picture description hinders the potential rescue action that the first on-site rescue worker may take, and the wounded will lose the opportunity to be rescued in extremely dangerous situations. When the car is in the sea of ​​fire, we still have a few minutes to carry out self-rescue or rescue operations. Note: What should we do if the car is on fire? China's rescue equipment recommends that you first check whether there are no fire fighting equipment on or near the vehicle , and put the fire in a cradle in time. The second alarm immediately and can find help around you.
Most of the time, the spread of the fire is very slow, from the beginning of the fire to the car completely into the flames, it will last about 8 minutes. And after burning for 6 minutes, the temperature in the cabin rose sharply and exceeded 100 degrees. At any time, please remember to dial 119 and use the vehicle fire extinguisher to take the initiative. Fire extinguishers are equipment that must be carried with the vehicle. If it is a dry powder fire extinguisher, it is best to go to the local fire equipment store to inspect it once a year to check whether the dry powder is agglomerated and whether the pressure of the built-in nitrogen bottle that supplies the jet power drops. When using fire extinguishers and other fire-fighting equipment, it is best to get close to the fire source (most of the fire source is the engine room), open the engine cover to a gap, and then perform several short-time fire extinguishing shots in the engine room.
The engine compartment cover cannot be fully opened and the fire is burned more because of the additional supply of oxygen, which may cause a mild explosion. If the fire extinguisher can not control the fire, it should be as far away from the scene as possible, and wait for the rescue of firefighters. In Hollywood action movies, it is common to see such scenes: the flames are pulled out of the engine compartment of the accident car, and after a while, with a loud cracking noise, the entire car is caught in the flames. But in fact, this is only a movie stunt. Despite the actual situation, the producer regards this brilliant pyrotechnic explosion as a box office guarantee.
How to deal with auto-ignition accidents So what happened to car fires? Most auto auto-ignitions are caused by technical defects in the engine, such as overheated engine parts, electrical sparks, short circuits, or fuel leaks. In addition, car fires are not a common type of accident. Only about 3% of all accidents develop into fires. The 2/3 fire accident occurred in cars of 6 years old or older, and the reason was often caused by the lack of regular maintenance of the car. Vehicles of these ages are driving under high temperature conditions in summer and are more likely to cause accidents. In addition to fixed maintenance and maintenance, vehicles with a longer life should also be rested during driving and choose a cool parking position to prevent prolonged exposure.
