Car Care: These five things can turn your car into a fireball, if you are keeping them then take them out immediately..

As summer approaches, cases of car fires increase. Many times fire breaks out in a car due to fuel leakage or short-circuit, but some things kept in the cabin can also cause a fire in the car. Here we are telling you about 5 such things which are not free from danger if left inside the car during summer.

Do not leave glasses in the car cabin.

Your glasses kept inside the car can also cause a fire. Perhaps this may surprise you, but this is the truth. The lens in the glasses works as a magnifying glass. As soon as sunlight falls on the glass of the glasses kept on the dashboard, it starts contracting the sunlight in one place. Continuous sunlight falling in one place increases the chances of fire in plastic or paper items. When this happens, the risk of fire in seat covers or other flammable items increases. If you have to keep glasses, then keep them inside a box or a case.

Do not leave a bottle of deodorant.
People nowadays keep a bottle of perfume or deodorant in the car. However, they contain alcohol which expands with heat and may leak from the bottle. Alcohol is a substance that catches fire quickly. Due to the high temperature inside the car, the deodorant bottle may also blast. Therefore, avoid keeping any alcohol-based products inside the car in the summer.

Avoid keeping lighter too.
The further away the lighter is kept from the car in the heat, the better it will be. There is a lot of flammable liquid or gas inside the lighter. Many people do not pay attention when a small spark can cause a big accident. Due to heat, the gas filled in the lighter starts expanding and if it comes in contact with any other object in the car, it can also cause an explosion.

Plastic bottle
People definitely keep a water bottle inside the car in summer. But, do you know that water kept in a plastic bottle in summer is no less than poison? Due to the increase in heat inside the car, plastic starts releasing chemicals, which dissolve in water and harm health. Not only this, but empty plastic bottles can also cause a fire in the car by reflecting sunlight.

Keeping a power bank is also dangerous.
Cases of battery explosion in smartphones and power banks are often reported. Lithium-ion battery is installed inside the power bank which can pose a threat to safety by being constantly exposed to high temperature. This increases the possibility of explosion of the power bank when exposed to sunlight. In many incidents, cars have caught fire due to power banks, which has even led to the death of people.
