Vehicle Fires (continued)

If the fire is small, you can use an extinguisher to put it out. Whatever you do, don't spray or pour water on a gasolene, oil or electrical fire. With a large fire , don't attempt to try to put out the fire yourself. The fire may spread to the gas tank and create a large fire ball. Keep far away and call for help.

Car fires are caused by:

• Fuel Leaks
• Electrical Shorts
• Overheated Engines
• Oil Leaks
• Intentionally Set

In all vehicle fire situations, think and act quickly. Personal and public safety are the most important considerations. A vehicle can be replaced, but you or someone nearby cannot.
