Question:
_________
.When you discover a fire, send someone for help. You may use the fire extinguisher to keep minor truck fires from
spreading to cargo before firefighters arrive. Feel trailer doors to see if they are hot before opening them. If hot, you
may have a cargo fire and should not open the doors.
Opening doors lets air in and may make the fire flare up.
Without air, many fires only smolder until firemen arrive, doing less damage. If your cargo is already on fire, it is not
safe to fight the fire. Keep the shipping papers with you to give to emergency personnel as soon as they arrive. Warn
other people of the danger and keep them away.
