How should you behave in the event of a fire inside the tram while driving?
Explanation

Correct answer: Stop the vehicle, relieve the pantograph, open the doors and commence evacuation of passengers.

In the event of a fire in a tram, the primary duty of the tram driver is to stop the vehicle immediately to enable a safe evacuation. It is crucial to lower the pantograph to cut off the power supply from the overhead line, which minimises the risk of electric shock and the further spread of fire. Only after these actions have been performed can all doors be safely opened and the evacuation of passengers begin.
