At about 16:00 on May 28, a new energy electric vehicle in Heyuan City, Guangdong Province suddenly smoked while charging. The owner immediately unplugged the power to stop charging and called for help.
After receiving the report, the Heyuan Fire Command Center quickly dispatched 2 fire trucks and 8 firemen to the Wenchang Road Fire Rescue Station to take care of the scene.
When the firefighters arrived at the scene to understand the situation and were about to start the fight, the burning vehicle suddenly deflagrated, and the flames quickly swept the entire body.
As there are many cars around the parking area of the burning vehicle, the firefighters immediately used water cannons to suppress the burning vehicle, and used foam to cover the fire to prevent the spread of the fire and other vehicles.
After the fire is under control, firefighters demolish the burning vehicle and cool the interior of the vehicle to prevent re-ignition due to excessive temperature.
About 90 minutes later, the on-site disposal was completed and the accident caused no casualties.
According to the owner, the car burst into flames after charging for an hour. Fortunately, the fire did not affect the surrounding vehicles because of the timely rescue.
