Why Engine Fires Happen in Accidents
An engine fire can be a very dangerous situation. It can happen when physical impact breaches the fluid or the vehicle's power systems. This enables flammable liquids to reach the hot engine parts or cause electrical sparks. This can happen at just the right angle and force of the strike.
In other cases, a lack of maintenance and upkeep increases the risk of a fire. In still other situations, the incident may be due to a faulty manufacturing design or components that failed to work properly.
