- Get onto the shoulder or into the breakdown lane as quickly as possible.
- Shut off the engine.
- Get yourself and all passengers far away from the fire and warn bystanders to keep clear.
- Try to warn oncoming traffic.
- Do not try to put out the fire yourself. With any fire, there's a possibility that the fuel in the vehicle's tank might ignite.
- Call 911.
