What should you do about a vehicle fire risk after a crash in which fuel lines may be damaged?
- A.Restart the engine to move away from the leak at once
- B.Use flares right beside the fuel puddle
- C.Let passengers shelter beside the tank
- D.Shut off the engine, avoid smoking and open flame, and keep people away from leaking fuel
Correct answer
D. Shut off the engine, avoid smoking and open flame, and keep people away from leaking fuel
Why
Damaged tanks and lines can turn a crash scene into a fire scene with one spark. Cutting ignition sources and keeping distance costs nothing and removes the most likely way a bad scene becomes a fatal one.
