According to the authorities, vehicle owners and drivers need to pay attention to fire safety measures for their vehicles. In particular, in hot weather, road surface temperatures can reach 50 - 60 degrees Celsius, thus posing a very high risk of fire, especially for vehicles traveling long distances.
Therefore, it is necessary to regularly maintain the cooling system, replace the oil, let the vehicle rest after each journey, equip portable fire extinguishers (should be equipped with CO2 fire extinguishers)...
Earlier, at around 10:50 a.m. the same day, a truck traveling on National Highway 1, Vinh bypass, in Hung Tay commune, Hung Nguyen district, was also burned down./.
