A fire point in the corner of the villager's house
Family Tang Lihui, Group 7, Puquan Village, Xinshi Town, Mianzhu, Sichuan Province, lived a peaceful life, but since January 19, a sudden "nameless fire" made the family worried. Since then, the family often ignites fire for no reason, and the family is frightened. A total of 8 families who encountered the same experience as her, "from March 22 to March 27, fires were ignited five times, almost once a day," said villager Li Hong. There is no obvious fire source in
. There have been many spontaneous combustions in this place. Villagers called the police for help. The local police station, fire brigade and gas company have also investigated. The specific cause of spontaneous combustion has not been determined.
The land caught fire for no reason. Every household was panicked.
Group 7 of Puquan Village, Xinshi Town, Mianzhu, 8 small farmyards were built adjacent to each other, forming a villager's courtyard with a radius of about 200 meters. In the middle of the villagers' courtyard, a charred soil of more than 10 square meters is like a huge "scar", and the humid air also has the pungent smell of plants and trees burning.
On the afternoon of March 26, the rain had just stopped. In the villagers' courtyard where Tang Li Club lived, seven bizarre fires occurred in a short period of time, every household in the courtyard took action. The bamboos and baubles visible on the surface were cut down and transported one by one, and the dead branches and weeds on the surface were also swept into piles waiting to be transported away. During the breaks of work, the neighbors were still sighing. "The reason cannot be found, and the land inexplicably started to fire, and every household was panicked." "We are really scared of burning."
The house where the Tang Li Club lives is located in a corner closer to the farmland. On the back of the house, there are many pieces of bamboo that shade the kitchen from the sun and rain. Now, the bamboo has been cut down, revealing a large piece of dark marks that have been burned by fire in the exterior wall of the kitchen. She introduced that this is the earliest fire point in the courtyard. "On January 19, a choking cigarette suddenly floated in at home, and then I heard the neighbors shouting: The fire broke out in the exterior wall of the kitchen." Tang Lihui said that when he found out, the fire was already a little big, and the open fire was more than one person tall. The tiles on the outside of the kitchen roof were burned and dropped to the ground. Fortunately, the neighbors rushed to help put out the fire, and the kitchen was safe.
htmlOn February 14, a fire broke out inexplicably at about 1.5 meters away from the first ignition point. This time everyone rescued it in time and did not suffer much loss.is becoming more and more frequent. In the past 5 days, there have been fires of 5 times in total.
"From March 22 to March 27, there have been fires of 5 times in total." Villager Li Hong introduced that, plus the previous two times, there have been fires of 7 times. The inexplicable fire made the land covered with green bamboos and wild flowers covered with thick layers of charred ashes. After experiencing rain, the villagers even washed with water pipes several times, and there were still several places on the charred land. As soon as I approached, the heat came to my face. Use a wooden stick to push away the thick ashes, and the yellow soil plates are formed into blocks, which are very hot and have a pungent smell similar to sulfur.
The gate of the villager Li Hong’s house was facing the ashes. She introduced that around 18:00 on the 25th, an open fire suddenly burst out from the land and the bamboo was quickly ignited. "There was no one there at that time." What's even more strange is that around 11:00 on March 26, after the rain, an open flame suddenly broke out next to the simple chicken pen surrounded behind Zhou Shihui's house, and the open flame quickly reached more than 1 meter high. At around 19:00 on the 26th, choking cigarettes emerged from the abandoned kitchen of Grandpa Li Hong's house. Fortunately, it was discovered in time and no personnel or property losses occurred. On that day, local village cadres led the villagers to clean up the surrounding flammable materials and pumped water to cool the fire point. It also rained that night.
The fire photos taken by the villagers
At around 10 am on March 27, the sofa cushion at Li Hong’s house suddenly caught fire, and some villagers took a photo. In the picture, the red flame was running upwards. Previously, some villagers also took photos of the fire, but unfortunately, they failed to capture the moment of the fire.
"Fortunately, the discovery was timely, and the militia and the villagers put out the fire." Village director Liu Qijian introduced that when talking about this inexplicable fire, they didn't believe it at first, but later they checked it on the spot and found out that it was true.After five fires, some villagers pushed away the ashes and found that the soil inside was still wet. Some villagers once piled up dead branches and ignited the fire. Because of the continuous rain, the fire quickly went out.
The cause of spontaneous combustion has become a mystery. Multiple departments have intervened in the investigation and have not found the "real murderer"
Is it because of frequent fires in the villagers' courtyard?
The villagers introduced that they also had such suspicion when the fire broke out for the first and second time, but were quickly denied. Many villagers said that for decades, the neighborhood has been well-known, and the houses are built from adjacent areas. Once the fire is out of control, it is likely that the fire will burn the camps." After the continuous fires, the villagers also became more vigilant and supervised each other, especially not to throw cigarette butts. Some villagers even witnessed open fires popping up inexplicably in the fields, which can eliminate human reasons. Villagers also called the police for help. After the local police station police investigated on the spot, no human possibility was found. Peng Lijun, director of the Environmental Safety Office of Xinshi Town, Mianzhu City, introduced that through town and village staff, the police went to the scene to check and initially eliminate human reasons.
"There are no dead branches and weeds around the chicken circle, the land is wet, and the temperature is less than 20 degrees, this fire is really strange." Li Hong introduced that the continuous bizarre fires make people feel panicked, and everyone is also actively looking for the cause of the fire these days. When asked the old man in the village, he learned that the yard was once farmland, but later it was covered with two layers of three-mill mud, which became a rural drying dam, which was not flammable.
According to a reporter from Red Star News, local villagers have households with natural gas , and villagers have also suspected natural gas leaks. On the 25th and 27th, local gas company staff arrived at the scene twice and used instruments to inspect the site. No natural gas leak was found, and the villagers never smelled the smell of natural gas.
Mianzhu local fire rescue personnel also rushed to the scene to investigate after receiving the alarm. According to the situation on the scene, the firefighters believed that the possibility of spontaneous combustion was very high, but the firefighters did not find the cause of the fire for the time being.
"We have not found the reason for frequent fires yet." Peng Lijun introduced that in addition to suggesting villagers to clean up flammable materials on the ground, they also sent militias to increase the number of patrols. Village director Liu Qijian introduced that on the evening of the 26th, the local government distributed fire extinguishers to each farmer and also conducted fire prevention training for villagers. Professionals taught villagers step by step to use fire extinguishers to extinguish fires.
"Now two militias are sent to patrol every day, and eight farmers take turns to send one person to patrol with the militia." Village director Liu Qijian introduced that although the reason has not been found yet, before eliminating hidden dangers, protective work must be done to minimize the losses.
At present, Xinshi Town Government, Xinshi Police Station and local fire brigade have intervened, and gas company staff have also visited the site for investigation. The specific cause of spontaneous combustion has not been determined.
