Recently, a disturbing video about fire hazards has been posted on an official Facebook page of Idaho Power Company. A station battery technician Dioni Amuchastegui shared his disturbing experience that almost cost him his car!
One hot summer day, the man saw smoke in his parked car. When he found the item that caused a tiny fire, he was shocked, because it was water in a plastic bottle! That’s horrific, cause we all have them from time to time in our car!
It’s even more terrifying, as we can’t imagine how the natural fire distinguisher can actually cause it! The thing is that exposed to the direct sunlight, the bottle worked as a lense! If Dioni hadn’t spotted it, his car could’ve been destroyed already!
The man warns everyone not to leave it in cars on a hot day or at least to hide it from direct sunlight!
Safety Check: Water Bottle in a Hot CarDid you know that on a hot day, a see through water bottle in your car has the potential to start a fire? Neither did Stations Battery Technician Dioni Amuchastegui.
