Car Fires Soaring: 5 Summer Mistakes That Could Turn Your Vehicle Into a Fireball!
•Car fires are increasing, especially in summer, due to overheating, aftermarket parts, old wiring, and poor maintenance.
•Get regular servicing from authorized centers; electrical checks every 6 months can reduce fire risk by up to 80%.
•Avoid DIY fixes and cheap aftermarket accessories that tamper with original wiring; use OEM-approved parts to prevent short circuits.
•Never ignore oil stains, fuel smells, or dashboard warning lights; remove flammables like sanitizers and power banks from the dashboard in summer.
•Keep an ABC-rated fire extinguisher, a seatbelt cutter, and a window breaker in your car; if smoke appears, move 100 feet away and call the fire brigade.
