Answer:

Noticing this, I would keep the hood closed while extinguishing the fire. The fire could spread and you don't want to touch that hot metal hood! If your attempt fails, get away from your vehicle and dial 911 IMMEDIATELY. Hopefully this has not happened to your car now and you're asking the question for help as a result.

Answer:

Keep the hood closed while trying to extinguish the large fire.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a fire starts in the hood, make sure not to open it because the fire can spread and the hood would be super hot since it's metal. After you put it out with the extinguisher, call 911 so they can take care of the rest.

Best of Luck!
