Based on discussions with rescue
professionals, we recommend that
emergency response personnel follow
standard procedures developed by their own
organization for assessing situations and
dealing with potential hazards. Given our
knowledge of the Civic GX, we also
recommend the procedures outlined in this
section.
Incidents Involving Fire
If a Civic GX is involved in a fire, follow
standard fire-fighting procedures, but keep
away from the rear of the car until the fire
is completely out. Remember that high
temperatures can cause all CNG in the fuel
tank to be released through the pressure
relief outlet at the left rear of the car (see
page 4).
Damaged Vehicle
Before attempting to rescue occupants from
a damaged Civic GX, or before moving it,
you must stop the flow of CNG and turn off
the engine.
You have three ways to do this, ranging
from the best method to the least desirable
which are detailed on the following pages.
