Changsha Lotus Garden Telecom Building caught fire, and smoke billowed into the sky. Why does the fire spread so fast?

Because high-rise buildings are very different from bungalows, they are often accompanied by a large number of vertical tube wells. Under the action of stack effect, the fire will spread rapidly.

Now most people will choose to work in high-rise buildings, but they must flee the scene as soon as possible after the fire, so as to better protect their lives. The high-rise building itself is relatively closed, and ventilation can only be maintained by opening windows. These windows play an important role in peacetime, but when a fire comes, it will also lead to the accelerated circulation of air, which will lead to more serious fires. Moreover, the fire site is a telecom building. When a fire occurs with some special materials of electrical appliances, it may aggravate the fire and accelerate the spread of the fire.

Changsha Lotus Garden Telecom Building caught fire, and smoke soared into the sky.

The command center of Changsha Fire Rescue Detachment immediately launched rescue. After preliminary investigation, it is known that the site is Lotus Garden in Furong District. The height of the fire building on the external wall of the telecom building is 218m, with 42 floors above ground and two floors underground. After several hours of hard work, the fire was finally brought under control. At present, there is no fire.

Why does the fire spread so fast? The space of China Telecom Building is relatively closed, and the rapid spread of fire after the fire is one of the main reasons leading to this danger. At the same time, there are a lot of flammable materials in the building, and the structure of the building is conducive to the spread of the fire, which is difficult to control after the fire. It is best to ensure your life safety as soon as possible after the problem occurs, and timely alarm handling is the best choice.

In a fire, the plane combustion speed is slow, and the vertical combustion speed is fast, especially when the vertical plane combustible is on fire, the fire spreads quickly. The main cause of this fire is the fire of external wall insulation materials, so you should also learn to protect yourself in your life.
