At about 11:40 p.m. on December 30, a thrilling scene occurred at the Waisha toll station of Shanfen Expressway - a white passenger car emitting smoke drove quickly from the exit ramp to the ETC lane of the toll station, and the front of the car had obvious flames, and the situation was very dangerous.
After Xie Yunyun, the toll collector on duty, found out, he immediately stepped forward to stop the passenger car, signaled the people on the bus to get off quickly, evacuated to a safe area, and used the walkie-talkie to call the on-site staff to come to assist.
Hearing that a vehicle was on fire at the scene, squad leader Fang Haofeng picked up a fire extinguisher, rushed to the burning vehicle, and sprayed the flames from the front of the car. At the same time, loudly command the on-site staff to report to the monitoring and command center, close the adjacent lanes, divert on-site traffic, and prevent secondary accidents.
After receiving the alarm from the monitoring and command center, the stationmaster on duty and the road administration team immediately rushed to the toll collection site. They were divided into three groups, some pushing hand-held fire extinguishers, some holding portable fire extinguishers, and some holding water hoses, and at the same time sprayed at the vehicle that caught fire. After emergency fighting, the open fire was completely extinguished, but white smoke still came out of the front of the car from time to time.
At 11:56, the fire brigade staff arrived at the scene to carry out rescue. At around 12 o'clock, the fire of the vehicle that started the fire was completely extinguished.
"I was scared to death! The car caught fire for no apparent reason, and I don't know what's going on. Thank you for your help!" said Ms. Chen, the frightened driver, to the staff repeatedly.
"You're welcome, we've put you in touch with a rescue trailer. You'll want to do a thorough inspection of your vehicle to see what caused the fire. The staff instructed.
