The radiant heat from an exhaust can smolder the dry grass under a car. With one swift wind, that can then turn into a wildfire. Help prevent wildfire this summer by not parking over dry grass. If you see a roadside fire, call 911 immediately.

👩🏻🚒🔥🫵 Did you know that winter fires that are not properly extinguished can smoulder underground for months and re-ignite as a wildfire in the spring? Whether you're hosting a family campfire or doing a controlled burn on your property, fire safety should always be top of mind – even when there's snow on the ground. Remember: ❌ Don't burn if the wind speed is over 15 km/hr. Wind can pick up sparks or embers and start a wildfire. ✔️ After burning, soak the area, stir and soak again. Make sure heat and smoke are gone. The site should be cool to the touch.

There's flood this period, and if you don't know some basic tricks while driving your car during this rainy season, you go spend money tire😩. Here are somethings you need to do to avoid spoiling your car “Make this raining season no go humble you 😂“ 1.The first thing you should do is to turn off your AC because your fan is most likely to take water into your compressor and when this happens your AC shuts down completely. 2 Stay on the middle of the road to avoid falling inside the gutter 3. Turn on your headlight. This will help improve visibility for yourself and that oncoming vehicle 4.Make sure you drive slowly to avoid water entering your exhaust and if your car stops don't try starting it instead seek safety first. Finally After passing through the flood don't speed off apply a little pressure on your brake to help dry your brake pads. If you don't do this you might experience brake failure. Share this tip to anyone who need this information. Stay Safe, Stay Informed! Do well to follow @thecarguy.ng for more tips👍
