If There Is A Fire, What Should I Do?

Get yourself and all others out of and away from the vehicle. If the vehicle is in a garage or other structure, exit immediately.
After you are a safe distance from the vehicle, call the Fire Department and tell them the location of the fire.
Remain away from the vehicle: do not attempt to get back into a burning vehicle to retrieve personal property.
Never put yourself in danger using a fire extinguisher. If you do use a fire extinguisher, only do so from a safe distance and always have a means to get away.
It is recommended to use a fire extinguisher approved for use on class “B” and class “C” fires.
Do not open the hood or trunk if you suspect a fire under it. Air could rush in, enlarging the fire, leading to injury.
