"<h2>Fire prevention</h2>There are many burnt out 4WD's spread out thru the veld of Africa. The trigger of the fire can be a  spark from a short in the complicated electrical systems e.g seat heating many modern 4WDs have. This is one reason the ""basic"" LC76SW (shown)  is popular with 4WD enthusiasts . Fire can also be due to overheating of the engine because of limited air flow through a radiator that is clogged by  grass seeds from high grass on unused paths. This risk of course increases as kindle from dry grass stems and leaves accumulates under the car, especially around a hot exhaust pipe.  Regular stops, depending on the conditions e.g every 5 kms can be necessary and a long piece of wire is essential equipment, needed to reach difficult places (see inset). Always be be on the alert for smoke and the smell of smouldering grass. Remove the radiator net when not needed as it can itself cause overheating at higher speeds by blocking air flow. Also check the radiator net is low enough on your grill or bull bar. We have a fire extinguisher safely held between the front seats. Always check its pressure gauge before your trip."
