The incident highlights the importance of using specialized vehicles for transporting hazardous materials. In this case, a dirt truck with rear-facing exhaust was used instead of a vehicle designed with safety features to prevent such incidents, illustrating the crucial need for strict adherence to safety protocols in the transportation sector.

1. Utilize vehicles specifically designed for transporting hazardous materials.
2. Ensure all transport vehicles are regularly maintained and equipped with safety features.
3. Train drivers on emergency procedures and safe handling of hazardous goods.
4. Conduct regular safety audits on transport routes to minimize risks near residential areas.
5. Advocate for stringent regulations on the transportation of potentially dangerous goods.
