Reactions in burning vehicles

(in cars or other land vehicles,[15] including car, cart, auto or automobile, moped, motorcycle, or motorcycle with or without sidecar, scooter, walkabout, scooter or scooter, motocar, moto-car, mototaxi, moto-taxi, tukxi, tuk-tuk, tuctuc or tum-tum, tricycle, trike, trimoto, quad, quadricycle, quadricycle or four-track, van, van, caravan, motorhome or roulotte, truck cabin with or without trailer, bus, including automotive, tram, metro car, metrotram, train car, railway, etc.):.

Some sign of fire would appear: burning smell, smoke, flames, etc. Then, one or more of the following resolutions would be applicable, depending on the situation:

(on boats or any vessel in general,[16]​ including boat, yacht, 'outboard' or outboard motor boat, dinghy, dinghy, cayuco, various models of raft, inflatable or zodiac boat, etc.):

There would be some signs of fire, such as a burning smell, smoke, flames, etc. Then, one or more of the following resolutions would be applicable, depending on the vessel:

Protect yourself from fire smoke and fumes and block their entry (read above about avoiding smoke and toxic fumes). Stop the engine. Turn off the gas if necessary. Turn off the electricity if necessary (obviously, all disabled electrical systems will stop working). Lower the candles before they burn, if possible. Take all the fire extinguishers that are accessible and necessary. Locate, if possible, the origin of the fire: normally electrical circuits, motor, battery, stove or any material flammable by cigarettes. Then put out the fire somehow, if still possible (read above about how to put out a fire). Anything flammable that is a serious hazard must be kept away from flames (including fuel engines and stored fuels). Prevent the radio beacon and especially the life raft from burning. It is possible to close dampers so that there is less oxygen to feed the fire. If a flame catches on clothing, put it out with water (not with flammable liquids, such as alcohol, many colognes and cleaning products, and fuels such as gasoline and diesel), or by whipping them (for example: with blankets or wet rags), or by rolling on the floor (on some suitable stretch of floor), or with a fire extinguisher. And, if the fire grows too big, put on your life jackets and everyone go on deck. When a fire is large and has gone out of control, the ship must be abandoned, at the appropriate time, but promptly.

(in aircraft, airplanes or flight vehicles, flying or flying,[17]​ including plane, seaplane, small plane, ultralight or ultralight, helicopter, flying taxi, various models of hot air balloon, etc.):

Some signs of fire would be noticed: burning smell, smoke, flames, etc. Protect yourself from smoke and toxic fumes (read above about avoiding smoke and toxic fumes). Do not use flammable products, such as most sprays (aerosols).

From there, the main reactions consist of preventing the fire from getting close to the flammable areas of the vehicle (mainly fuel, especially in the engine), and trying to put out the fire (read above about how to put out a fire), usually with fire extinguishers. If a flame reaches clothing, extinguish it with water (not with flammable liquids, such as alcohol, many colognes and cleaning products, and fuels such as gasoline and diesel), or by whipping them (for example: with blankets, or wet rags), or by rolling on the floor (on some suitable stretch of floor), or with a fire extinguisher.

For cases in which a serious fire cannot be put out, there are emergency landing and ditching maneuvers, and some air vehicles contain (or should contain) parachutes, and water life jackets, which allow passengers to be evacuated.

Other subsequent reactions: evasive, defensive and survival

When the fire can no longer[7]​ be put out (except by firefighters), the other possible reactions must be carried out:
