Many car owners know that summer is the high incidence period for spontaneous vehicle combustion, but they don't realize that it can also happen in winter when temperatures drop below zero degrees. At around 5 PM on December 2nd, at the intersection of Fuxing Road and Yongding Road on Chang'an Street, a Honda sedan traveling from east to west suddenly caught fire while waiting at a traffic light. According to the Honda owner's recollection after the incident, he was waiting at the intersection for the traffic light when he noticed white smoke coming from the front of the car. "At first, I thought it was steam, but when I prepared to continue driving, the car suddenly stalled. When I tried to restart it, black smoke started billowing from the front of the car, and soon thick smoke filled the air accompanied by fierce flames." Mr. Wang quickly took out his fire extinguisher and attempted to put out the fire. However, the flames spread rapidly, and with a loud explosion, the fire instantly engulfed the front of the car...
Car maintenance: The aging and cracking of rubber and plastic parts inside the car can easily cause electrical short circuits; during driving, the volatilization of engine oil can lead to component wear and various electrical issues; or私自 installing additional electrical components within the car, leading to poor connections, increased resistance, and high temperatures... These reasons can all easily lead to spontaneous vehicle combustion.
Once you discover your car is on fire, do not panic. Stop the car immediately, turn off the engine, cut the power supply, close the fuel tank switch and the radiator shutters, and leave the vehicle immediately. If the car doors cannot be opened, you can escape through the windshield.
If there is a small fire, you can use a fire extinguisher or cover the fire with available items in the car. If the hood of the car catches fire due to spontaneous combustion, do not open the hood. Instead, use a fire extinguisher to spray into the gaps of the hood.
If the fire covers a large area and there are no firefighting tools available, and the fire endangers the cargo in the car, while fighting the fire, quickly unload the goods from the car. But under any circumstances, you must ensure the prevention of fuel tank fires and explosions.
If the fire is not extinguished within three minutes, call 119 for help immediately at the scene. If the car fire endangers surrounding people or causes greater disasters, while fighting the fire, drive the car to a safe area.
After putting out the fire, it involves vehicle claims. Insurance experts remind car owners that the fire liability covered under vehicle damage insurance only refers to fires caused by external reasons, while actual fires caused by internal wiring or fuel lines fall under the coverage of the 'spontaneous combustion insurance.' The annual cost of spontaneous combustion insurance depends on the car price, generally around 200 to 300 yuan for cars worth about 200,000 yuan.
Finally, the best way to prevent spontaneous combustion of cars in winter is to regularly inspect your car and perform basic maintenance to keep it in safe condition.
