Jordan sees 3,206 vehicles burned in two years
The 2025 annual statistical report issued by the Operations Division of the Civil Defense Directorate documents the burning of 1,378 gasoline and diesel vehicles, 71 electric vehicles, and 138 hybrid vehicles, reflecting the serious threat fires pose to public safety. The primary causes of these fires are related to improper vehicle maintenance, exhaust pipe damage, electrical faults, and engine overheating—particularly when water levels are low or system components are damaged. Neglecting maintenance and unauthorized modifications further increase the risk. Throughout the year, fire incidents resulted in 182 injuries and 3 fatalities, with the monthly incident rate rising to 132 accidents. July recorded the highest number of incidents at 171. Experts have emphasized that adhering to routine maintenance and investigating fire causes—such as exhaust pipe damage, electrical maintenance issues, and engine overheating—can significantly reduce the occurrence of fires and protect the lives of drivers and those around them.
