Dozens of electric cars in a residential area in Hangzhou were burned into iron shelves. In this case, can the owner claim compensation from the property?

Because the public security department and the fire department have not clearly defined the responsibility of this matter, it is hard to say whether the owner can claim compensation from the property department.

First, how did this happen?

This happened on 202 1. Because there is no fixed tram charging area in an old residential area in Hangzhou, many residents will carry their battery cars home to charge after work.

Later, in order to facilitate everyone to charge, the community industry Committee vacated a basement in the community and entrusted a third-party company to install several charging piles there.

There are more than 500 households and more than 200 battery cars in this community. The underground parking garage on fire can hold 100 battery cars to charge at the same time.

It was midnight when the incident happened, and the residents of the community suddenly heard a bang at the bottom of the building. So residents quickly went out to check and found that the charging area of electric vehicles in the community was on fire.

Second, what was the cause of the fire?

When the fire broke out, many residents went to put out the fire with their own fire extinguishers. However, because the fire was too big, the residents of the community did not put out the fire in time. Later, firefighters arrived and put out the fire with high-pressure water guns.

As for the cause of the fire, according to the fire department, it is very likely that the battery car is short-circuited or the battery temperature is too high, which caused the fire. Fortunately, this incident did not cause any casualties.

Third, whether the owner can claim compensation from the property.

Although the fire department initially determined that the fire was caused by the short circuit of the tram, neither the fire department nor the public security department issued a written division of responsibilities, so it is difficult to say who should be responsible for this incident.

I hope you don't put it anywhere when charging the battery car, and we don't want to charge the battery car for too long. After the car is fully charged, unplug the power supply in time to avoid the danger of the battery car due to high temperature.
