My question to auto gurus is why technology has not evolved to have cars come with built in or factory fitted fire supressants located in the trunk or more appropriately the engine bay the way jet engines are built. I mean PMS is certainly more flammable than Jet A1 and when you have top cars and trucks going for upwards of a $100,000, you'd think passenger safety and property security would be a wiser consideration than LED moonlights or two rear facing 12 inch screens just centimetres apart. Paul Walker may have lived with such a system in place when it is widely known that a lot of fire deaths are as a result of trapped victims. Of what good is an extinguisher in the glove compartment or under the seat of a mangled car. Someone is not thinking right here. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Reference:The answer to your question is for government to implement robust Emergency Service . 3 en though you have all what it takes to put out a fire you might need training to put out a serious fire . If your car burst into flame run away.you got insurance to cover the cost however if you have a car you think you can die for by roasting yourself and you the owner did not deem it fit to Insure such car then the Owner's stupidly is way out of this world ! |

erico2k2: Read the second paragraph pls. It explains my inquiry. Typical car fires are totalled within two to three minutes. Even the best emergency services can only deal with a fraction of them. When victims are trapped in accidents, fire fatalities are near 100 percent anywhere in the world. |

I don,t know where Nigerian frsc sourced their knowledge and information, you should never tackle any fire unless you are trained or a fire marshal.if fire extinguishers are required in the vehicle, manufacturers would have provided one. I live here in Europe and it is never part of MOT certificate. Your life is worths more than a car, in case of any fire just think of your safety first. 1 Like |

Reference:You missed the point . Car fires are unpredictable . You have a petrol tank within which is highly volatile . You jave engine,Gear oil oil The advice from London fire brigade is if you can get away run to get the nears help dial 999.. By the way if your car is insured why worry even 3rd party insurance covers fire and theft . |

erico2k2: I have 3rd party.. Its mainly covers the "other" party involved in an accident...Other party could be a car, fence etc.. So if my car goes up in flame and fire spreads to another car, my 3rd party insurance covers other car up to 1 million(I think). If only your car burns and you are on 3rd party insurance, nothing for you. |
