The prevention and control measures for hazardous chemical vehicle fires mainly include the following points:
Regular inspection and maintenance of vehicles: Drivers should regularly check the vehicle's electrical and oil circuits to ensure that there are no short circuits, electrical or oil leaks, and promptly repair any damages or problems found.
Equip with appropriate fire extinguishing equipment: Vehicles should be equipped with fire extinguishers that are suitable for the size of the vehicle, and ensure that the extinguishers are within their effective period so that they can respond quickly in case of a fire.
Avoid parking in dangerous locations: During thunderstorms, avoid parking under trees, power poles, high-voltage lines, iron towers, high-rise buildings, and other places that are prone to lightning strikes and sparks. Choose a safe location to park your vehicle.
Pay attention to driving safety: During the driving process, especially on muddy, bumpy, narrow, and steep roads, the vehicle should be driven slowly and at a low speed to prevent skidding, slippage, and severe shaking of dangerous goods, ensuring transportation safety.
Avoid placing flammable objects in the vehicle: Do not place flammable objects in the vehicle, such as lighters, power packs, carbonated drinks, and vehicle mounted perfume, to reduce the risk of fire.
Be alert to odors inside the car: If you smell an odor inside the car while driving, or if you see smoke coming from the edge gap of the hood or near the dashboard, you should quickly pull over and turn off the engine, and conduct a careful and meticulous inspection of the vehicle.
Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight: In hot weather, vehicles should avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight and try to park indoors in parking lots or under tree shade.
Control long-term driving: Avoid continuous and prolonged driving of the vehicle. It is recommended to take a few breaks midway to allow the vehicle to "rest" and reduce potential risks caused by overuse.
By taking these measures, the risk of hazardous chemical vehicle fires can be significantly reduced, ensuring transportation safety.
