To prevent a vehicle fire, the fire service advises you keep an eye on your car's service and MOT history because most fires can be prevented with regular maintenance.
Some simple pre-journey checks can also be carried out, such as checking oil, tyres and coolant levels, and not ignoring warning lights.
