PROTECTION OF TRANSPORT OWNERS FROM FIRE

The experience of recent years shows that, it is also possible burn of cars (“without reason”). Although this is mainly the result of interference in the electrical system, it is possible burn of cars from the problem arising in the course of normal operation. Please note that the burning car is fully burn for 10 minutes on average. Therefore, even after the ignition of the car, even if you are 100 meters from the refueling station, it is inevitable that your car will become completely unusable. But, as practice shows, in most cases, the ignition of the car occurs after the first smoke, which lasts 5-6 minutes, or after the flame in a small area. It is not difficult to extinguish such a smoke and a small flame with a fire extinguisher for the car.
