Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
Smoke from a vehicle indicates a possible fire. What is the first priority after safely stopping clear of traffic?
Correct answer: Turn off the engine and get everyone out and away from the vehicle.
Why
Stop safely clear of traffic, turn off the engine and get all occupants away from the vehicle. Seek emergency assistance. Do not attempt to fight a large fuel or oil fire, and do not use water on gasoline, oil or an electrical fire. The priority is getting people clear, not diagnosing the fault beside traffic.
