According to witnesses, a fire broke out in the KTV private room on the second floor of the waiting hall at around 1 this morning, and the fire spread rapidly from east to west along the second floor.

According to Mr. Zhang, a Bengbu passenger who was watching the video in the video room at that time, he suddenly heard the waiter shouting in his sleep and woke up suddenly, only to see that the private room in the video room had caught fire. At this time, the hour hand just points to 17 1, and there are about twenty or thirty people in the video hall. He and some passengers tried to open the fire hydrant on the second floor, but failed.

A taxi driver waiting at the station square said that around 15 1 point, a fireball as big as a basketball appeared in the middle of the second floor of the station and expanded rapidly, and then an explosion similar to a TV set was heard. In just a few minutes, the second floor immediately became a sea of fire, and the explosion and shouting of the glass became a piece. When the reporter rushed to the scene, he saw that the fire had risen more than ten meters high. There is smoke in the waiting room, but there is no open flame.

Some passengers were awakened in their sleep. After more than five minutes, nearly 300 passengers and staff were basically evacuated from the fire site. Almost at the same time, the ceiling of the hall began to burn, and sporadic fireballs fell with the parts; Around 1: 35, three fire engines arrived at the scene to put out the fire, but the interior decoration materials caught fire quickly and the fire could not be controlled.
