One of the best ways to prevent car fires is regular maintenance by a trained mechanic. However, if you find yourself in a situation where your fuel or oil levels drop suddenly, your car suddenly begins to overheat, or you smell any sort of burning materials, pull over to a safe spot as quickly as you can (make sure to use your signals). Turn off the engine, get everyone at least 100 feet away from the car, call 911, and don't go back for any reason. For these and other tips about car fires, check out the link below:

Hello. My name is Patrick Dighton. I’ve been in the fire service for 11 years. In this time, I have served in both career and volunteer departments. I currently service the citizens of Martinsville as a career fireman. I have spent lots of time training and learning as much as possible about the fire service and have found it is my true passion. I have been married for 8 years and have 5 children. I enjoy golf and farming in my off time. Through my tenure in the fire service, I have attended many trainings, and those trainings have motivated me to become a state instructor. With the knowledge I have gained, I am ready to move forward to assisting departments with potential gear and equipment purchases. I will do all I can to help move departments in Eastern Indiana towards a successful future.
