The cause of the fire in Nanjing

The electric bicycle is parked on the overhead floor of six buildings. According to Bei Qing. Com, at 4: 39 on February 23, 2024, the command center of Nanjing Fire Rescue Detachment in Jiangsu received an alarm: a fire broke out in Building 6 of Shangming Xiyuan in Yuhuatai District. As of 24: 00 on 23rd, the fire had caused 15 deaths and 44 people were hospitalized. Among them, critical 1 person, severe 1 person, and 42 people were slightly injured. Most of the 42 minor injuries were caused by inhaling smoke from the fire site. After preliminary analysis, the fire was caused by the fire of electric bicycles parked on the overhead floor of six buildings. After the fire broke out on the first floor, the overhead floor was directly connected with the patio in the building, forming a stack effect, which spread rapidly upward. Most of the 42 minor injuries in this fire were caused by inhaling smoke from the fire site. According to experts, normally closed fire doors in high-rise buildings have failed to effectively stop the spread of smoke, which is also an important reason for the expansion of casualties. The fire of electric bicycles spread quickly and produced a lot of toxic smoke. In the residential building where the fire broke out, a large number of electric vehicles were parked on the elevated floor. According to experts, once an electric car catches fire, it will quickly enter the stage of intense combustion and produce a lot of toxic smoke.
