In the event of an engine fire, drivers should NOT do which of the following?
  1. Use the fire extinguisher, spraying from below if possible into the engine compartment.
  2. Pull over as soon as safely possible and bring vehicle to a full stop.
  3. Open the hood to allow more air inside.
  4. Evacuate the vehicle until the fire is completely out.
Explanation
Answer: C - In the event of an engine fire, drivers should not open the engine hood to allow air inside. More air will only contribute to the fire and may make it even worse. If possible, use the fire extinguisher by spraying the contents up from below into the engine compartment. Drivers should never attempt to "blow out" the fire by driving faster! Pull over and stop the vehicle as soon as possible.
