A Porsche electric car collided and caught fire in Jiangsu, and the couple died. How to save yourself when the vehicle catches fire?

A Porsche electric car in Suzhou hit a guardrail and caused a fire. Passers-by tried to open the door to rescue the people inside, but the people in the car were burned to death because they couldn't open the door. The self-rescue method of vehicle fire mainly includes five aspects: first, use the vehicle fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire; Second, break the window with a safety hammer to escape; Third, after driving the vehicle into a relatively safe area, turn off the engine or cut off the power supply; Fourth, call the police immediately after successfully escaping from the vehicle. Because vehicle fire is an emergency, the first two aspects are very important.

The cause of the car fire. At present, the cars sold are mainly divided into fuel vehicles and electric vehicles, and the causes of fire between fuel vehicles and electric vehicles are very different. There are several main reasons why the fuel truck caught fire. First, the vehicle itself has design defects. After continuous use, the engine is seriously corroded by steam, resulting in increased resistance. If the heat of the heater is too high during operation, it will cause a fire. Second, improper car maintenance, car parts and circuit damage will lead to fire. Third, the fuel tank will burst after the collision of the refueling truck, and the gasoline or diesel oil will catch fire when it meets the electric spark after flowing out. The third type of fuel truck has a higher frequency of fire. Electric car fire accidents mainly occur in summer, and the main reasons are circuits and batteries. Unqualified batteries and circuits will cause short circuit and spontaneous combustion during use. In addition, if the battery is violently hit, it will also lead to fire.

Self-rescue of vehicle fire. According to relevant regulations, all cars need to be equipped with fire safety equipment. Dry powder fire extinguishers can be used for both fuel vehicles and electric vehicles, and carbon dioxide can play a very good role in extinguishing circuit fires and fuel fires. In addition, the car must be equipped with a safety hammer, which can be used to break the glass after a fire or other accident, so that the owner can escape quickly. Vehicles on fire need to avoid crowds or gas stations to avoid more serious accidents.
