According to BYD Auto's official Weibo on May 16, BYD issued a description of the fire in the Minhou exhibition hall in Fuzhou:

On May 16, a fire broke out in our sales showroom in Minhou County, Fuzhou City, which was put out by fire and emergency firefighting, and no casualties were caused.

Judging from the relevant video, in the initial stage of the fire, the open flame was located on the roof of the second floor, and there was no open flame in the glass hall of the exhibition car on the first floor.

At the same time, through the retrieval and viewing of the background data, there is no abnormal condition in the battery of the vehicle in the exhibition hall, and the possibility of vehicle damage is also ruled out.

In addition, it has been learned from the fire department that "combustible substance" does not refer to the "source of ignition", but belongs to two different concepts. We are deeply concerned about this matter and will actively cooperate with the relevant departments in further investigation.

According to Fujian TV's "First Gang", according to Fujian Fire Protection: At 0:32 on May 16, a fire broke out at a car sales and maintenance point at the high-speed exit of Lanpu, Qingkou Town, Minhou County, Fujian. The Fuzhou Fire and Rescue Detachment immediately dispatched two fire and rescue stations, 7 fire trucks, and 29 fire and rescue personnel to the scene. At 1:18, the fire was basically extinguished. The combustion substance is an electric vehicle parked in the exhibition hall.

In addition, according to Jingzhou Daily's cold and warm video report, on May 16, a fire broke out in BYD Qingkou 4S store in Minhou County, Fuzhou, Fujian Province. According to reports, the cars in the exhibition hall were basically burned, the hall was burned to the skeleton, and many cars outside the 4S store were seriously damaged.

According to the Strait Metropolis Daily, on the morning of the 16th, the reporter came to the scene and saw that a cordon had been set up around the building where the fire started, and there were uniformed staff to prevent the onlookers from approaching.

"The fire was so big that the firefighters couldn't get close. And it is full of new energy vehicles, and the batteries are also on fire, which is not easy to extinguish. An eyewitness said.

It is reported that the fire also caused damage to many private cars that were sent to the shop for repairs.

The staff said that the show car is insured, but the claims and repairs of the private car still need to be further negotiated with the owner. According to people familiar with the matter, the losses caused by the fire are about 4 million to 5 million yuan.
