Question

class e general knowledge question #12 / 50
if a small fire starts in your vehicle when you are driving, you should stop your vehicle immediately. if you have a portable
extinguisher you should try to extinguish the small fire. but if the fire gets larger, you should
select a letter to choose your answer.
a: try to smother the fire with a coat or blanket.
b: get away from the vehicle.
c: use water instead, especially if it is a fuel or electrical fire.

Explanation:

When a fire occurs in a vehicle, personal safety is the top priority. If the fire gets larger, staying in the vehicle is extremely dangerous. Getting away from the vehicle ensures physical safety and creates a safer distance to assess the situation further. Options A (smothering with a coat/blanket) and C (using water for fuel/electrical fires) are incorrect. Smothering might be risky if the fire spreads, and water is inappropriate for fuel or electrical fires as it can exacerbate the situation (e.g., water conducts electricity in electrical fires and can spread fuel fires).

Answer:

B. Get away from the vehicle.
