FIRE RISK SLIGHT
Sometimes alarmist notions are circulated with regard to the danger of cars catching fire. Certainly, if a too occurs in a closed car there is rather more danger for the occupants than m an open type. But with any make of car the risks of fire are small, and they may be kept down very considerably by maintaining the car in good condition. In other words, with a well maintained car the fire risk normally is very slight. It is not intended in any way to minimise the dangerous, nature of petrol, and the strongest emphasis should be laid on its careful handling and storage But in the normal running of a car nowadays there is little likelihood of petrol catching fire and endangering the lives of the people in the ear. Tho most usual cause arises from an accident in which the petrol supply system i gets damaged and a leakage occurs.
