The electric car in the community caught fire in the elevator and burned many people. How should we protect ourselves when a confined space is on fire?

These two days, the owners of our community, WeChat one, two, three, shopping, running and other WeChat groups, were screened by a video news. It can be clearly seen in the video that a man pushes an electric car into the elevator, and there are three other adults in the elevator, one of whom is a woman with a child in her arms. When the elevator door was about to close, the electric car pushed by the man suddenly emitted white smoke. White smoke instantly fills the narrow elevator space, and the smoke is accompanied by fire.

Everything happened in a few tens of seconds. Although people's eyes see the fire, the reaction speed of hands and feet is far from so fast. When white smoke appeared, someone pressed the door button of the elevator, and the sudden fire made people not respond in time in panic. Only one second after the fire broke out, the surveillance camera in the elevator was white and nothing could be seen. You can know that white is the moment when the battery explodes.

Owners are talking about this video news, and they are crying for it. Many owners are also dissatisfied with their neighbors pushing electric cars into the elevator in the tower where they live, but most of them are keyboard men in the group and never say anything when they are pushed in the elevator. Whenever this happens to my friend in the elevator, she takes the stairs and refuses to ride with her.

The tower of our community is also the hardest hit area where battery cars are pushed upstairs. Basically, there will be one or two electric cars parked in the corridor of each floor. Property and neighborhood committees also go home several times every night to publicize that it is unsafe to push battery cars into the corridor, which may easily cause fire hazards, but no matter how publicized, many people still push them upstairs. When disasters don't happen to them, they are basically indifferent. Not to mention some people are still piling up sundries in the corridor, next to the electric car.

At present, most electric vehicles on the market are powered by lithium batteries. The batteries are all packed in a battery box, which is very safe from the outside. In fact, lithium metal is a relatively active metal, and the electrolyte in lithium batteries is also a flammable liquid. Although the design of lithium battery has safety measures to block the contact between positive and negative electrodes, this safety measure cannot guarantee absolute safety. Short circuit, liquid leakage, long-term charging, high temperature, etc. in the use process are very easy to cause the explosion and combustion of the battery. Lithium battery is not a docile white rabbit, but a dangerous wolf. Be careful.

The elevator is a very narrow closed space, and there is basically no escape route in case of danger. Before taking the elevator, be sure to observe the elevator condition, and do not take it again without abnormal conditions such as abnormal sound, wrong floor number prompt, car tilt, etc. It is also forbidden to jump, kick and press in the car when taking the elevator. When you are in danger, press the door or the nearest floor button in time; Report the danger in time through the telephone in the elevator; Control your emotions, don't panic, squat or get down and wait for help. Adults know that if there is a fire in the building, it is forbidden to escape by elevator. This knowledge must also be told to children.

After reading this news, if someone wants to push the electric car to ride together when taking the elevator again, they must refuse to ride together. If you can't avoid it, either wait a little longer or take the stairs. Always remember your own safety awareness, master your own safety, and don't walk with dangerous people or things.
