In this situation, should you evacuate the injured person from the fuming car, bearing in mind your own safety?

Description

Art. 162 of the Penal Code.

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

Yes, in a situation of immediate danger to life, such as a vehicle fire, the injured must be evacuated. The risk of explosion or burns is greater than potential injuries that could be caused by pulling victims from the wreckage. In doing so, you must always remember your own safety.
