How to prevent a car fire
* Have your car serviced regularly by a professionally trained mechanic.
* If you spot leaks, your car is not running properly, get it checked. A well-maintained car is less likely to have a fire.
* If you must transport gasoline, transport only a small amount in a certified gas Can that is sealed.
* Keep a window open for ventilation.
* Gas Cans and propane cylinders should never be transported in the passenger compartment.
* Never park a car where flammables, such as dry grass, are touching the catalytic converter.
* Drive safely to avoid an accident.
KNOW THE DANGER SIGNS
• Cracked or loose wiring or electrical problems, including a fuse that blows more than once
• Oil or fluid leaks
• Oil cap not on securely
• Rapid changes in fuel or fluid level, or engine temperature
