In Italian vehicle safety and emergency procedures (Codice della Strada), what is the rule regarding the correct technique for using a vehicle fire extinguisher on an engine bay fire?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. Short bursts at base of flames

  1. Step 1: Opening the hood wide feeds oxygen into the engine fire causing backdraft; spraying through the gap at flame base starves the combustion zone. Answer: Short bursts at base of flames. Why not the others: the other options do not conform to vehicle safety standards and emergency regulations under the Codice della Strada.
