At about 18:21 on October 11, a fire broke out in an electrical appliance maintenance shop on Jinyinhu Street, Dongxihu District, Wuhan. After receiving the alarm, the Wuhan Fire Rescue Command Center quickly mobilized 20 firefighters from the Yuechuang Fire Rescue Station to rush to the scene for disposal.
When firefighters arrived at the scene, they saw the roller shutter door of an electrical repair shop closed, and thick black smoke came out of it. The commander quickly issued an order to evacuate the nearby onlookers and set up a cordon belt. Firefighters immediately put on protective equipment, opened the roller shutter door, and found that some of the home appliances in the store were burning violently, with an area of about 2 square meters and no people trapped.
Firefighters immediately cut off the power to the store, laid water hoses, set up water guns to extinguish the fire, and after intense fighting, the open fire at the scene was quickly extinguished. Subsequently, the firefighters carefully inspected the scene, confirmed that there was no risk of re-ignition, and combined with the "case theory" of the scene, explained the fire danger, preventive measures and escape and self-rescue methods to the masses, and further enhanced the public's fire safety awareness.
According to the owner told the fire department, the most serious home appliance burned at the scene was an old computer, which was rarely turned off because it was used in the store for a long time, so it has been used for more than ten years, and it was not turned off when it left the store that night. The cause of the fire may be related to this, and the specific cause of the fire is being further investigated by Wuhan Fire Protection.
Wuhan fire remind: In daily life, when household appliances are not in use, the power should be cut off in time to avoid fires caused by high temperature or short circuit of electrical appliances. The air switch configuration should be reasonably configured according to factors such as the size of the circuit load, the nature of the circuit and the working environment to ensure that the power supply can be cut off in time when the circuit fails, and the safety of electrical equipment and personnel can be protected. In case of emergency, please call the police on 119 in time.
