[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Seo Young-seo] The Muan Fire Station in Jeonnam (Chief Park Won-guk) announced on the 16th that special attention is required to prevent vehicle fires in preparation for the scorching summer heat.

Vehicle fires occur due to excessive use of the air conditioner without checking the coolant or oil during the heatwave, aging wiring, or engine overheating caused by long-distance driving.

To prevent vehicle fires, avoid long hours of driving and check the coolant, various oils, and tire conditions before and after driving.

Also, clean the inside of the engine room, regularly inspect aging wiring, and do not store flammable materials such as lighters or sprays inside the vehicle.

In particular, when parking under strong sunlight, it is advisable to slightly lower the left and right windows.

Park Won-guk, Chief of Muan Fire Station, said, “Careful inspection and attention by the driver are important to avoid vehicle fires,” and added, “Be sure to keep a vehicle fire extinguisher to prepare for any possible fire.”
