Your vehicle catches fire and you do not have a fire extinguisher. How should you put it out?
First aid
Explanation
To extinguish a fire in a vehicle when a fire extinguisher is not available, it is advisable to use **soil**. This is because soil can smother the flames by covering them, eliminating the oxygen that the fire needs to continue burning.
- **Water should not be used** to extinguish a fire in a vehicle, as it can be ineffective or even dangerous, especially if flammable liquids or electrical components are involved.
- **Air is not an option** to extinguish the fire, as the oxygen present in the air feeds the flames instead of extinguishing them.
Therefore, the safest and most effective option in the absence of a fire extinguisher is to use soil to smother the fire.
