Case review
electric blanket
At 8:28 a.m. on January 27, 2024, a fire broke out in a residence in Yulongwan, Wujiang District, Shaoguan City, Guangdong Province. When fire and rescue personnel arrived at the scene, they found that the fire started in a resident's home on the 17th floor, and a large amount of smoke continued to pour out of the window. According to the understanding at the scene, the head of the household had gone out at the time of the fire and did not cause casualties, and the fire was suspected to be caused by the electric blanket igniting the quilt, which caused the fire to spread to the entire room.
Refrigerator
On November 25, 2023, a house in Fengcheng, Jiangxi Province caught fire, and firefighters arrived at the scene to find that the fire was burning violently, and the beams of the house had been burned down. After nearly 2 hours of intense handling, the fire at the scene was successfully extinguished, but fortunately, there were no casualties caused by the accident. After inquiry, the police learned that the neighbor's refrigerator caught fire in the room at the time of the incident, and because it was an old wooden house, the fire quickly affected other houses. About 160,000 yuan in cash stored in the policeman's home was also burned into "black charcoal".
