Fire has damaged 44 cars in Crimea since the beginning of the year.

Since the beginning of 2026, 44 cases of total or partial destruction of cars by fire have been registered in Crimea. Such statistics are provided by the regional headquarters of the Ministry of Emergency Situations on Friday, July 3.

Cars catch fire due to accidents, electrical failures, short circuits, and other malfunctions. Sometimes it takes five minutes for the vehicle to burn out completely, writes IA StavropolMedia.

An example is the case that occurred in the Dzhankoy district. Due to a short circuit, the car caught fire while driving. The area of about 4 square meters engulfed in flames was extinguished by firefighters.

To prevent such accidents, it is necessary to pass a technical inspection on time, trust the repair to professionals, have a fire extinguisher in the car and be able to use it.
