    What is the standard operating procedure for a incident???? The public do not know what they are doing. Rather than run away from danger they are endangering themselves. The fumes are toxic to the extent of being life threatening. Has any one ever seen fire department 🚒 personnel put themselves in danger to save some material?????? If anyone is killed or injured there is no one to support them or their familys. Human life is most precious. So please for God's sake run away from danger. Let the car burn. The insurance company will take care of. Material loss.

    "Hyundai Verna suddenly went up in flames while on the move." Unbelievable ! For the last few years this could be the third or fourth such miserable incidents took place in Mangalore. Also two wheelers (EV) scooters ! It's ridiculous. India made cars like Ambassadors or any other make never ever went into flames while on the move. May be some minor incidents of smoke in the engine over heating due to lack of water in the radiators. 🥱😴😫
