Correct answer
Protect people, evacuate safely and call 112.
Stop as soon as it is safe, switch off the engine, evacuate the occupants and call 112 from a safe place. Do not risk lives to save the vehicle or open the bonnet without being prepared to act, as that can intensify the fire. Earth or a blanket is not a universal solution for every vehicle fire; extinguishing methods depend on the fire’s type and extent.
