At 7:00 a.m. on March 29, 2022, in the service area of a highway in Macheng, Hubei Province, a courier car suddenly caught fire.
Video in a public place showed a white box delivery truck pulling into the service area and a few minutes later, as the driver got out of the car to check the condition of the tire, the tire suddenly exploded and thick smoke rose.
After the staff of the service area saw it, they immediately organized personnel to carry out fire fighting and transferred the express delivery in the car. In order to prevent re-ignition, firefighters used fire rakes to clean up the syring courier under the cover of water guns.
After 40 minutes, the fire was extinguished by a joint effort. It is understood that the car express was transported from Wuhan, Hubei province to Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, because the brakes caused the wheel hub to overheat, causing the tire to explode and catch fire, which eventually led to nearly half of the express delivery being burned.

How to prevent spontaneous combustion of the vehicle?
The best way to prevent spontaneous combustion of vehicles is to regularly check vehicles, especially passenger and freight vehicles often drive for a long time, so before departure, we must carefully check the lines, oil circuits and braking systems to see if there is aging, oil leakage and loosening, etc., and do not modify and install electrical appliances without permission, increase the electricity load, cause vehicle line failure, spontaneous combustion.
In addition, the vehicle high-speed driving time is too long, the performance of the vehicle is a great test, especially the tire for a long time, friction and emergency braking, will produce a lot of heat energy, resulting in tire overheating or puncture, which are the main causes of tire fire.
