Do not carry explosive, flammable, or combustible materials in vehicles

As the weather begins to warm up, experts warn that materials with flammable properties left inside vehicles can pose a danger, stating that certain products exposed to heat can cause major fires in vehicles after explosion.

In recent days, experts have issued warnings about the scorching temperatures nationwide. Due to the increase in air temperatures, flammable products left or placed inside vehicles pose a danger.

Looking at the statistics of vehicle fires in Erzincan, some of the causes of these fires have been identified as items left inside the vehicle such as lighters, power banks, perfumes, and batteries that can cause fires.

“Items left in the vehicle can cause fires”

Experts emphasize that fires, especially those in vehicles, are caused by flammable and combustible materials used by drivers. Items left in vehicles, such as lighters, lighter gas, refill canisters, all kinds of pressurized deodorant cans, and alcoholic perfumery products, as well as batteries left on charge, power banks, or batteries in mobile phones, and rarely, items such as magnifying glasses, alcoholic cologne, and all kinds of flammable and combustible liquids, including explosive materials, can be found. In addition, fires can occur over time due to the wear and tear of hoses used in transitions in gas and petrol cars when vehicles are not serviced during the year. It is essential to pay attention to these. Flammable and combustible products should not be left in vehicles during hot weather. Especially in these recent days, with the increase in temperature inside the vehicle, we need to be careful without ignoring the possibility of these negatives. We need to maintain our sensitivity regarding these issues. Please let’s not keep, leave, or forget explosive, flammable, and combustible materials in our vehicles. Therefore, we recommend being cautious for our own safety. Apart from that, let’s not neglect the annual maintenance of our vehicles. Let’s have them done flawlessly without fail.
