While driving in a tunnel you were forced to bring your vehicle to a halt due to a fire. What should you do now?

In the scenario of a fire within a tunnel, the correct actions are crucial for safety and compliance with regulations. Triggering the fire alarm at the emergency call point is essential because it alerts authorities and initiates a response to contain the fire and ensure the safety of all individuals in the tunnel.

Additionally, attempting to extinguish the fire as best you can is important if it is safe to do so. This shows a proactive approach to controlling a potentially dangerous situation, preventing escalation, and protecting your own safety and that of others.

Locking your vehicle is not necessary and can hinder emergency responders. It is essential to prioritize human safety and fire control instead of securing the vehicle.

In German traffic regulations, especially in tunnels, there are strict protocols for emergency situations, which emphasize the importance of immediate reporting and action to minimize risk. Therefore, the correct combination of actions includes both reporting the fire and attempting to extinguish it, while avoiding actions that do not contribute to safety.
