Fire in the Cab
The incidence of fire in heavy- and medium-duty
trucks is rare, according to data from the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard #302 limits the flammability
of specified materials used inside the cab, but de-
spite this, most materials can burn.
WARNING
Do not allow flames, sparks, or any other heat
sources (such as cigarettes or light bulbs) to
contact materials in the cab. Any materials in the
cab in contact with these heat sources could
cause serious personal injury or vehicle damage.
In Case of a Cab Fire
As quickly as possible, bring the vehicle to a safe
stop, apply the parking brake, turn off the ignition,
and get out of the vehicle.
