*What you should do in such a situation
*1.*Safety First*: Ensure that everyone is at a safe distance from the vehicle. Do not attempt to open the hood further or touch any part of the vehicle as it could be extremely hot or electrified.2.*Extinguish the Fire*: If you have access to a fire extinguisher, use it to put out the fire. Aim at the base of the flames, not the top. If you don’t have a fire extinguisher, call emergency services immediately. Do not use water if you suspect there might be electrical components involved, as it could worsen the situation.3 *Turn Off the Vehicle*: If it’s safe to do so, turn off the vehicle to cut off the fuel supply which might be feeding the fire.4.*Call for Help*: Contact emergency services if you haven’t already. Even if you manage to extinguish the fire, there could be hidden damage or smouldering areas that could reignite.5.*Do Not Attempt Repairs*: Once the fire is out, do not attempt to start the vehicle or make repairs. A professional assessment is necessary to check for structural integrity, electrical damage, and fuel system issues.6.*Tow the Vehicle*: Arrange for the vehicle to be towed to a professional mechanic or repair shop where they can safely inspect and repair any damage.
