Two spontaneous combustion accidents a day
"We found the fire at 1:40." Mr. Song, the property manager of a community in Jingsan Road, Zhengzhou City, said that the fire was at the battery on the left front of the vehicle. Judging from the on-site video taken by the property, the spontaneous combustion vehicle first exploded in the front of the front, and then developed into the back of the vehicle. Mr. Song said that although they immediately used fire extinguishers to rescue and reported "119", the vehicle spread quickly after the fire broke out. In the end, although the fire was extinguished, the losses were irreversible.
reporter saw at the scene that all the spontaneous combustion vehicles except the trunk were overfire, the interior was burned out, and the glass of the car was completely scrapped due to high temperatures.

"In addition to this vehicle spontaneous combustion that day, there was another one." A staff member of the Zhengzhou Fire Rescue Detachment introduced that a vehicle spontaneous combustion incident also occurred in a Baisha community.

spontaneous combustion vehicle is a water truck
html On November 9, the community, safety supervision office, and the Jinshui District Fire Rescue Brigade jointly conducted a follow-up investigation on the cause of the fire. It was initially determined that it was suspected that it was the "July 20 flood" water truck repaired, and some lines were soaked in water and had resistance, resulting in spontaneous combustion. According to reports, the vehicle that spontaneous fire in Baisha is also a water-soaked repair vehicle on the "July 20 Flood". Zhengzhou Fire Rescue Detachment said that the investigation of the cause of the fire is underway."My car was indeed soaked in water on July 20, but it only flooded more than half of the wheels." The owner of the car told reporters that after soaking in water, he was sent to the 4S store for repair. He replaced some modules during the repair. He only got the repaired car on October 20. "I drove to and from get off work every day, and I didn't run long distances, and I didn't find any abnormalities that day."
It is worth noting that this is not the first vehicle spontaneous combustion accident since the "July 20 flood". On September 11, a commercial vehicle spontaneously ignited and caught fire on the Longhai elevated road in Zhengzhou. After the incident, the owner of the car, Mr. Qu, said in an interview with a reporter from Dahe Daily and Yu Video that the car was flooded during the "7.20" heavy rainstorm disaster and had just been on the road for a week after maintenance.
Remind
Also prevent cars from catching fire in winter
Maybe many people will have questions, don’t car spontaneous combustion mostly occurs in high temperature summer? How can cold and dry winters happen? Regarding this issue, the reporter consulted Guo Zijian, the squad leader of the Welfare Lottery Fire Station of Zhengzhou Fire Rescue Detachment, who participated in the firefighting. According to him, the low temperature in winter is prone to static electricity, sparks, etc., which may also cause spontaneous combustion of cars.
Guo Zijian said that there are mainly "four killers" of spontaneous combustion of cars in winter, namely, components aging, improper equipment modification or replacement, flammable products in the car, and long-term brake pressing, especially vehicles soaked in water after the "July 20 flood". Although it has been repaired, there may still be problems in the pipelines in the car.
Auto repair personnel remind that when winter comes, car owners should conduct regular inspections of the battery and circuit.
Note what should the owner do after
after the spontaneous combustion?
Guo Zijian reminded that car owners should be equipped with effective fire extinguishers, insulated gloves and for a long time and other emergency equipment. The car is equipped with a fire extinguisher and master the correct way to use the fire extinguisher. If the fire extinguisher is under pressure, replace it in time so that you can save yourself or rescue others in time when spontaneous combustion occurs.
"How to deal with it correctly in the first 3 minutes after the fire is on is crucial." Guo Zijian reminded that after the vehicle catches fire, the car should be stopped immediately and the power supply should be cut off. The personnel on the car quickly evacuated to safety and immediately called 119 to call the police for help, and at the same time reported 110 to maintain order on the scene.After
catches fire, the driver can use vehicle fire extinguisher to spray the fire at the root of the flame. When checking the fire, do not rashly open the front cover of the car. Instead, first open the front cover with a small gap. After oxygen enters for a while, then slowly open it all and use a fire extinguisher to extinguish it. If the fire cannot be effectively controlled, it should be evacuated to a safe area immediately. A large amount of harmful gas will be generated when the vehicle is spontaneously ignited. The personnel on the vehicle can wet the clothes or towels and cover their mouths and noses, escape to the direction of the upward air outlet to avoid inhaling harmful gases.
It should be noted that when a pure electric vehicle catches fire, dry powder fire extinguisher cannot effectively extinguish the fire, and it requires a lot of water to cool the battery and extinguish the fire. The claim holder of
Ping An Auto Insurance also reminds car owners that after the auto insurance fee is changed, the coverage of vehicle damage insurance has been expanded. The main insurance clause of the vehicle damage insurance has added 7 insurance responsibilities, including spontaneous combustion insurance, based on the original insurance liability. Therefore, car owners should purchase car damage insurance in a timely manner, especially owners of water-soaked trucks after the "7.20 flood".
