However, panicking would not be helping either. In such a situation, it is important to act rationale and quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s what you must do if your car catches fire:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stop_the_car\"><\/span>Stop the car<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Car fires can occur when you drive or when stationary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you catch smoke or flames coming out of your car when driving, do not attempt to continue your journey. Immediately look for a safe area to stop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Give a signal to other cars and drive your car slowly on the road shoulder. Turn off the car engine to reduce the risk of fire spread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Evacuate_the_car\"><\/span>Evacuate the car<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Vacate the car immediately and keep a safe distance from the car. Do not leave anyone in the car, especially the elderly and children. Make sure to pop the car hood too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stay_at_least_30_meters_away\"><\/span>Stay at least 30 meters away<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure that you stand away from the car, at least 100 meters away. Keeping a safe distance will prevent you from getting injured in case of an explosion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other than that, it is dangerous to inhale smoke&nbsp;from a fire. Please note that smoke inhalation poses can cause brain damage and lung damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Don%E2%80%99t_attempt_to_douse_the_fire_yourself\"><\/span>Don&#8217;t attempt to douse the fire yourself<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Please do not try to do anything on your own. Never try to put off the fire on your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any increase in air or water supply can result in the spread of fire. Please wait, and keep a safe distance from the car while waiting for the rescue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*In case of no flame or mere smoke coming out of the car&#8217;s hood, you may use a <a href=\"https:\/\/bjak.my\/blog\/make-sure-to-have-these-11-items-in-your-car-emergency-kit\/#Fire_extinguisher\">fire extinguisher<\/a> to put off the fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Call_the_traffic_police_and_fire_department\"><\/span>Call the traffic police and fire department<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In case of car fires, please dial traffic police as soon as possible. Immediately contact the fire department as a burning car in the middle of the road can be dangerous. Inform your whereabouts so they can act quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, the police will alert the fire department following a fire report. However, it is better if you inform the fire service yourself to make sure there is no delay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Don%E2%80%99t_attempt_to_go_near_the_car\"><\/span>Don&#8217;t attempt to go near the car<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In any case, don&#8217;t attempt to go near the fire just because you want to retrieve your items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter how small the flames are, it is dangerous and not worth your life risk. You can retrieve it after everything is pronounced safe and the fire has been put out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_insurance_cover_damage_caused_by_car_fires\"><\/span>Does insurance cover damage caused by car fires?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, some <a href=\"https:\/\/bjak.my\/blog\/does-auto-insurance-cover-car-fires\/#Can_you_make_an_insurance_claim_for_car_fires\">insurance covers the fire damages<\/a>, depending on the type of policy.
