In Albanian vehicle safety rules, how should a portable powder fire extinguisher be directed when tackling an engine compartment fire?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. Crack open the bonnet latch slightly and discharge extinguisher through the gap directly at flames

  1. Step 1: Under the Albanian Highway Code (Kodi Rrugor), Spraying through a narrow crack prevents fresh oxygen from feeding the fire into an explosive flashover. Answer: Crack open the bonnet latch slightly and discharge extinguisher through the gap directly at flames. Why not the others: Open the bonnet fully and spray upward into the rising smoke does not represent the statutory Albanian safety standard.
