?? Expert tips? How to check the vehicle for fire hazards

?? In the interview, the reporter found that many drivers will not consider spontaneous combustion of their car. Mr. Liu, who works in an advertising company, said: "I drive a new car, and spontaneous combustion does not occur in new cars, so I never considered spontaneous combustion at all." And another private car owner, Zhao, made it clear: Only when you are insured will you think of car spontaneous combustion, so you get spontaneous combustion insurance, so you will feel more at ease. "

?? In this regard, relevant experts pointed out that, whether it is a new car or an old car, as a driver, in addition to timely inspection and maintenance of the vehicle, we must also master some knowledge of prevention and suppression of spontaneous combustion.

If you do not have a certain knowledge of electrical and oil circuits, you should regularly go to the repair shop for maintenance according to the vehicle conditions. In addition, the occurrence of abnormal phenomena such as rubber paste smell or smoking is even more careless.

?? Second, illegal operations are not desirable
?? Because there are many new drivers and most of them do n’t understand the common sense of machinery, the illegal operation of vehicles has increased. Especially foreign drivers and temporarily hired drivers only care about Dora fast running and make more money. Maintenance, even illegal operations. So, what should I do if there is a breakdown during driving? Should stop as far as possible, waiting for professional rescue, and avoid doing it yourself.

?? Third, dangerous goods can not be left
?? When it comes to dangerous goods, people often think of only large tank trucks, but we do not know that lighters, perfumes, mousses, etc. in our daily lives are also dangerous goods that constitute automobile fires. If these items are placed in a part of the car that is easily focused by the sun's rays, it also has a certain fire risk. Therefore, you should inspect the inside of the car while locking the car, and do not leave these dangerous items. In addition, ordinary vehicles should try not to contain dangerous oil such as gasoline and diesel.

?? Fourth, fire extinguishers are essential
?? Many people's cars are not equipped with fire extinguishers according to regulations or are not regularly replaced, and most people have never used fire extinguishers, which has left an opportunity for the fire to take advantage of it and is not feasible. Every driver friend should be familiar with the use of fire extinguishers to avoid helplessness in the event of an accident.

?? V. Don't panic if it catches fire
?? According to the introduction of firefighting professionals, many automobile fires can be extinguished in the early stage, but often caused unnecessary losses due to the psychological tension of the parties involved. After the fire, the most important thing is life safety. Under the premise of ensuring your own safety, you should call the police as soon as possible, and you should use vehicle fire extinguishers or other fire extinguishing conditions for the initial fire fighting. Don't panic and let the fiend run wild.
