On December 8, two spontaneous combustion accidents occurred in Zhengzhou, both of which were repaired vehicles after soaking water in the "7.20 flood", and the fire department reminded that as the temperature continued to decrease, we should increase our vigilance against spontaneous combustion of cars in winter, especially the maintenance of vehicles with water soaking, and we should pay more attention.

Two spontaneous combustion accidents a day

"We found the fire at 1:40 a.m." Mr. Song, the property manager of a residential area in Jingsan Road, Zhengzhou City, said that the fire site was in the left front battery position of the vehicle, from the scene video taken by the property, the spontaneous combustion vehicle first detonated in the front, and then developed to the rear of the car, Mr. Song said that although they immediately used the fire extinguisher for rescue, and reported "119", but the vehicle spread quickly after the fire, and finally although the fire was extinguished, the loss has been irreparable.

The reporter saw at the scene that the spontaneous combustion vehicle except for the trunk was all overheated, the interior had been burned out, and the glass of the car was all burst due to high temperature, and it was already in a completely scrapped state, and a white Volkswagen next to it, the left side of the car body was also smoked by the high temperature of the fire, and needed to be overhauled.

"In addition to this one, the vehicle spontaneously combusted that day, there was another one." The staff of the Zhengzhou Fire Rescue Detachment said that there was also a spontaneous combustion of vehicles in a small area of Baisha, and although the fire was quickly controlled, it also caused irreparable damage to the vehicle.

The spontaneous combustion vehicle is a water soaking vehicle

On December 9, the community, the Safety Supervision Office, and the Jinshui District Fire Rescue Brigade jointly conducted a follow-up investigation into the cause of the fire, and initially determined that after the maintenance of the water soaking vehicle suspected of being the "7.20 flood", some lines were flooded with water and resisted, resulting in spontaneous combustion. According to reports, the Baisha spontaneous combustion vehicle is also a "7.20 flood" soaking water maintenance vehicle, zhengzhou fire rescue detachment said that the cause of the fire investigation is underway.

"My car did soak up on July 20, but it only flooded more than half of the wheels." Ms. Tang, the owner of the car, told reporters that after the car was soaked in water, it was sent to the 4S shop for repair, and some modules were replaced during the repair, and it was only on October 20 that the repaired car was obtained, "Every day is commuting, there is no long-distance running, and no abnormalities were found on the same day."

It is worth noting that this is not the first spontaneous combustion accident of vehicles after the "7.20 floods". On September 11, on the Zhengzhou Longhai Elevated Highway, a commercial vehicle spontaneously ignited, and after the incident, the owner of the car, Mr. Qu, said in an interview with the Reporter of Dahe News Yu Video that the car was flooded in the "7.20" exceptionally heavy rainstorm disaster and had just been on the road for a week after maintenance.

In winter, it is also necessary to prevent car fires

Perhaps many people will wonder, car spontaneous combustion does not mostly occur in the high temperature summer? How can cold, dry winters happen? On this issue, the reporter consulted Guo Zijian, the squad leader of the Fucai Fire Station of the Zhengzhou Fire Rescue Detachment, who participated in the rescue, according to him, the low temperature in winter is easy to produce static electricity, sparks, etc., and it is also possible to cause spontaneous combustion of the car.

Guo Zijian said that there are mainly "four major killers" in winter auto combusting, namely aging components, improper modification or replacement of equipment, flammable products in the car and long-term braking, especially after the "7·20 flood" after the water soaking vehicle, although after maintenance, but the pipeline in the car may still have problems.

Car maintenance people remind that in the winter, car owners should conduct regular inspections of batteries and lines.

note

What should the owner do after spontaneous combustion?

Guo Zijian reminded that car owners should be equipped with effective fire extinguishers, insulating gloves and other emergency equipment for a long time. The car is equipped with a fire extinguisher, and master the correct use of the fire extinguisher, and find that the pressure of the fire extinguisher is too low to replace in time, so as to save itself or rescue others in time when spontaneous combustion occurs.

"In the first 3 minutes after the fire, how to handle it correctly is very critical." Guo Zijian reminded that after the vehicle catches fire, it should stop immediately and cut off the power supply. The personnel on the car were quickly evacuated to a safe area, and immediately called the police on 119 for help, and at the same time reported 110 to maintain order at the scene.

After a fire, the driver can use the on-board fire extinguisher to aim at the root of the flame to extinguish the fire. When checking the fire, do not rush to open the front cover of the car, but should first open the front cover of the small slit, wait for oxygen to enter for a while, and then slowly open all of it, with a fire extinguisher for fire fighting. If the fire cannot be effectively controlled, it should be evacuated to safety immediately. When the vehicle spontaneously combusts, a large number of harmful gases will be generated, and the personnel on the vehicle can cover their mouths and noses after wetting their clothes or towels, and flee in the direction of the upward wind outlet to avoid inhaling harmful gases.

It should be noted that when a pure electric vehicle catches fire, the dry powder fire extinguisher cannot effectively extinguish the fire, and a large amount of water is needed to cool the battery and extinguish the fire.

Ping An Auto Insurance claims personnel also reminded car owners that after the car insurance premium is changed, the coverage of car damage insurance is expanded, and the main insurance clause of car damage insurance adds 7 insurance liabilities such as spontaneous combustion insurance on the basis of the original insurance liability, so the owner should purchase car damage insurance in time, especially after the "7·20 flood" after the water soaking car owner.
