What should you do if your vehicle catches on fire while driving?

  1. Exit the vehicle and call 9-1-1

  2. Slam on the brakes and stop in an appropriate location

  3. Pull off to the side of the road and physically put out the fire

  4. Shut off the engine and attempt to put out the fire

The correct answer is: Exit the vehicle and call 9-1-1

If your vehicle catches on fire while driving, the safest and most important thing to do is to exit the vehicle immediately and call 9-1-1. Attempting to put out the fire yourself can be dangerous and may cause the fire to spread. Slamming on the brakes may cause loss of control and increase the risk of accidents. Continuing to drive to find an appropriate location to stop may also be dangerous as the fire can quickly escalate and put you and others at risk. It is best to exit the vehicle and seek help from emergency services.
