Can you extinguish fire from a cistern transporting gasoline, by yourself?
Explanation
Correct answer: No.
A fire involving a petrol tanker creates an extreme risk of explosion, posing a fatal danger to people nearby. Attempting to extinguish such a large fire with a standard car fire extinguisher is completely ineffective. The correct course of action is to immediately move to a safe distance and call the emergency services.
