At about 2 p.m. on May 23, a car spontaneous combustion accident occurred near the intersection of Guiliu Road and Jinglan Road East Lane 1 in Liuzhou City, and a van suddenly spontaneously combusted during its driving. Before long, the raging fire reduced the entire vehicle to ashes, and the fire arrived to extinguish the fire.
At about 3 p.m. on the 23rd, the reporter rushed to the scene to see that the van that had spontaneously combusted was parked in the lane west to east of Guiliu Road, about 50 meters from the east lane of Guiliu Road and Jinglan Road. By this time the van had been framed in the fire, and almost everything on the van had been reduced to ashes. Sanitation workers were spraying water to clean up the site, and then the van was towed to the nearby College Road to ensure smooth traffic on Guiliu Road.
After the spontaneous combustion accident, many netizens sent a large number of accident videos and pictures to the WeChat background of this newspaper. Pictures and videos show the van caught fire in the middle lane of Guiliu Road, which runs east-west, and the fire quickly engulfed the vehicle. After receiving the report, the fire department rushed to the scene to extinguish the fire, and the fire was controlled and extinguished.
According to the van driver Xiao Huang, when he was driving on Guiliu Road, when he was about to reach the intersection, the vehicle suddenly stopped, and he started the vehicle again but without success. Then he suddenly noticed smoke coming from near the handbrake. He then got out of the car to check it out, and soon the vehicle was on fire.
Xiao Huang said that the car was his friend's and was a second-hand car. Since there were no fire extinguishers on the car at that time, in order to extinguish the fire as soon as possible, he stopped more than a dozen cars hoping to use fire extinguishers to extinguish the fire, but the owners said that they also did not have fire extinguishers. Two car owners gave him two bottles of water, but it didn't work at all.
At present, the cause of the accident is still under further investigation.
Just today
A tank truck on the East Ring Road also suddenly caught fire,
Thick smoke can be seen a few kilometers away
"The cement tanker suddenly caught fire!" At noon on May 23, near the intersection of Donghuan Avenue and Jingyuan Road in Liuzhou City, billowing smoke suddenly rose. Many passing citizens saw that a tank truck inside had lit a fire in the gap between the construction sites in the middle of the road, so they hurriedly called the police. Several other netizens sent videos of the section of the road and the high-rise buildings several kilometers away.
At 12:30 noon on the same day, when the reporter rushed to the scene, he saw that the section of the East Ring Avenue was under construction, and the section of about one kilometer from Wenchang Road to Jingyuan Road was very congested, and there were traffic police at almost every intersection. The tank truck was located in the driveway near the north-south side of the construction site, and several fire trucks and police cars were parked at the entrance of the site on Jingyuan Road.
At this time, the fire on the tank truck has been extinguished, the entire cab and the co-pilot position have been completely burned, and the two doors have also been affected, and from the co-cab door, it can be seen that this is a vehicle of a concrete company in Liuzhou. Fortunately, from the scene, the fire did not spread to other items on the site.
According to a witness on the side shop, at about 12 o'clock, he saw that the car suddenly smoked and caught fire, the fire was quite large, but after a few minutes it became smaller, almost invisible across the fence, he guessed that the people in the construction site put out the fire themselves. Who knew that the open flame suddenly rose again, and the flame rushed out of the roof of the car nearly 1 meter high, burning more violently than before. Fortunately, the fire truck arrived in time and completely extinguished the fire in about 10 minutes.
According to a construction site staff, the construction site is equipped with fire extinguishers, and he is also understanding the situation at the time of the incident. The preliminary judgment was that the front part of the line was aging and causing the fire.
At about 12:50 noon on the same day, under the guidance of the traffic police department, the traffic in this section gradually returned to normal. At present, the cause of the fire is under further investigation.

The cause of spontaneous combustion of the car
Circuit aging
After the vehicle is driven for a period of time, the car's wires will age, the insulation layer will fall off, and the circuit failure or poor contact with the wires will cause short circuits, causing spontaneous combustion.
Measures: Regularly check the circuit, if the wire has aging rubber, wire heating, etc., it should be repaired and maintained in time.
Feel free to load the modification
Reason: Some car owners often install some things themselves after buying a new car, such as anti-theft devices, audio, etc.
Action: Change the vehicle circuit as little as possible.
The engine is not cleaned for a long time
Cause: Long-term failure to clean the engine, the cabin sludge to prevent heat dissipation, resulting in excessive temperature or battery terminal posts due to impurities, oil pollution to make the contact point heat and cause combustion.
Measures: Frequent inspection, found that the engine compartment or wiring posts are dirty, should be cleaned up in time.
Oil circuit leaks
Reason: Since most of the oil circuits are made of rubber, rubber aging will crack and cause gasoline to leak.
Measures: Regularly check the oil circuit, find problems and replace them in time, keeping the entire engine system neat and clean.
Static electricity causes a fire
Reason: Due to some clothing, seat covers and other reasons, if the static electricity on the car accumulates to a certain extent, a fire will also occur. Especially when refueling should be taken care of.
Measures: Usually pay attention to discharge, choose a seat cover or wear clothes with a cotton texture.
smoking
Cause: After smoking, the cigarette butt is not extinguished and placed directly in the ashtray, or the lighter is placed on the instrument panel and exposed to the sun, which explodes and causes combustion.
Measures: Smoke as little as possible in the car, pay attention to the handling of lighters and cigarette butts after smoking. It is also important to note that canned items such as air fresheners or pesticides may also cause explosions.
Improper parking
Reason: When parking, be sure to pay attention to whether there are flammable substances under the car, such as hay, dead branches, etc. If there is flammable material under the car, it may cause the vehicle to catch fire.
Measures: Check when parking to confirm that there are no flammables under the car.
