How to safely wading? How to break windows to escape? Professionals explain the car in distress

In recent days, Beijing suffered heavy rain. A driver was trapped or even killed in the car. When a car encounters dangerous conditions such as heavy rain, how can people in the car help themselves? To this end, this reporter interviewed the fire brigade, rescue team, auto 4S shop related professionals.

When the water circumvents the water, it is less than 5 km.

Guiyang Shuntian Industry and Trade Co., Ltd. Dongfeng Citroen 4S shop sales manager Chen Yu introduced, stagnant water is the car's "enemy", if the water from the exhaust pipe, engine air intake and air conditioning intake into the car engine, it is easy Causes the engine to stall. Therefore, it is best for the vehicle to go around with water.

Fire extinguisher can be used to rake the edge of the car window

If you need to wading, you should first determine the depth of water. Chen Yu said: "If the water on the road has been lifted by external forces, it proves that the depth of accumulated water is at least 10cm. There are rulers under many easily-accumulated bridges and the driver must pay attention to checking before wading." If you do not see the ruler, it is best not to venture out when the driver is driving to the initial end of the approach bridge, because the approach bridge is generally 50 meters long, and if the approach bridge is filled with water, it proves that the bottom of the bridge is at its lowest. Water is already deep at the site and it should not be wading."

He suggested that there are two guarantees for safe water driving: the water level has not passed the wheel, and the speed has remained below 5 km/h. In addition, the reverse is also a "coup". “When the vehicle is wading, it is because the engine enters the water. The engine air intake is in front of the vehicle, so when you drive, it is very easy to set off the water and fill it into the air intake. If you go backwards, the vehicle will naturally The flow of water is relatively safe."

The mobile phone is also a broken window tool.

Yuan Kaiwei, instructor of the People's North Road Squadron of the Xiuwen County Fire Brigade in Guiyang City, pointed out that when driving a vehicle through a stagnant water area, if there is a vehicle wading in front of it, it is not appropriate to follow it. It is necessary to wait for the vehicle to pass through the stagnant area before passing. The front car stalled in the water, causing a dilemma.

The flameout of the engine should be quickly away from the vehicle fire extinguisher is an important window tool

When the driver felt that the engine was running unevenly and he was obviously not adding oil after he stepped on the accelerator, he proved that the engine had been flooded. At this time, do not try to drive the car out of the wading road, but should immediately stop and turn off and open the door to escape. Yan Changfeng, head of the Guizhou Youth Volunteer Emergency Service Corps, explained that because the electrical equipment will be completely flooded and short-circuited, the door windows will probably be completely locked up, and the chance of escape will be lost. "At this time, you must not be lucky enough to give up your car. Life is more important than the car."

Fire extinguishers need to regularly check pressure to ensure normal use.

If the car engine stalls, the door windows do not open, what if people get trapped in the car? Yan Changfeng suggested that on the one hand should call for help, on the other hand the car personnel should take self-help. “You can use relatively rigid objects in your car, such as fire extinguishers, mobile phones, and cups, to knock around the window,” says Yan Changfeng. Fire extinguishers in the car are important first-aid tools. However, some owners are Willing to put fire extinguishers in the compartment, this is a manifestation of weak safety awareness.

“The car windshield is not easy to smash, and the window glass is relatively thin, which is the 'breakthrough' when it comes to escape.” Yan Changfeng suggested, “The window is more likely to be crushed than the middle, and the window should be chosen to be self-rescue. tap."

In addition, Chen Hao introduced that with the headrest stick, using the lever principle, breaking the glass to escape is also very effective. “The door is covered with a layer of rainproof rubber ring, and the gap between the window and the window is not very big. However, as long as you use a little force, you can still insert the stick into it.” Chen Yu said, after the plug is fully inserted, Under a slight pressure, the glass cracks. He also reminded that the insertion point should be placed as far as possible on the four corners of the window, because the four corners of the tempered glass are relatively weak and easier to break.

In case of fire, turn off the power immediately and cut off the power. Don't put a lighter in the car.

What happens when a car engine fires in the summer? Yuan Kaiwei introduced that in the event of a sudden fire, the driver should immediately turn off the flames and cut off the power supply to prevent the fire from spreading. At the same time, the fire extinguisher was removed from the vehicle to carry out the fire extinguishment and the evacuation of the vehicle personnel was ordered.

"Fire extinguishers should be placed in the driver's car where the driver can easily get them. The owner shouldn't move away for the sake of beauty." Yuan Kaiwei said that if people are on fire, they should find a place where there is water. If they cannot find water, they should try their best. Beat your body and do not shout loudly so as not to burn the respiratory tract.

Yan Changfeng also suggested that the lighter should not be placed on the part of the car where the sun can hit it directly, because it is easy to cause spontaneous combustion in the summer. “Sometimes a car worth hundreds of thousands is destroyed by a few dollars of a lighter.” he reminded, summer backup The box should not be placed flammable items such as wine.
