Question 5172
Your vehicle catches fire and you don't have a fire extinguisher. How should you put it out?
- With air.
- With dirt.
- With water.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: With dirt.
Without a fire extinguisher, you can try to smother a fire that is just starting by throwing dirt or sand on it, or covering it with a blanket, provided you are not putting yourself in danger. Do not use water, because it can make the fire worse. If the flames grow, move away and call 112.
