What caused the sudden fire in Zhongshan Ancient Town, Jiangjin, Chongqing?

On June 4th, a fire broke out in Zhongshan Ancient Town. It is said that 20 fire engines, 120 commanders, 4 excavators, 12 pumps and other equipment were dispatched in this fire, which shows that the fire situation in Zhongshan ancient town is quite severe and the economic losses caused are immeasurable.

At present, the specific cause of the fire is not clear, but it can also be speculated that:

1. The houses in Zhongshan Ancient Town are mainly made of wood, and human factors are not excluded.

Zhongshan Ancient Town is a famous historical and cultural town in China, so it still retains its early wooden houses. As we all know, wooden houses are easy to burn in case of fire, and basically they spread very quickly after the fire.

This is also one of the reasons why firefighters use excavators to demolish and isolate houses, so as to minimize the spread of fire and avoid causing more fires.

Due to the particularity of wood structure, a spark may cause a fire, such as cigarette butts and irregular use of fire. Therefore, the fire in Zhongshan ancient town does not rule out human factors, and it is likely that an inadvertent little action led to the accident.

2. Connect the line without authorization, resulting in short circuit.

As a tourist attraction, there are many shops in Zhongshan Ancient Town. Where there are shops naturally, electricity is essential. Who can guarantee that no one will pick up the line privately? Maybe it's for convenience, maybe it's to save money.

However, the consequences are serious. Maybe your carelessness will lead to short circuit of wires, which will lead to wiring problems and even fire. For the sake of safety, we should improve our awareness of using electricity, and don't make irreparable mistakes for temporary convenience.

There are also many such examples in life: Guangzhou Suidong Street caught fire because of short circuit of wires, but fortunately no one was injured; In the hot spring area of a hotel in Harbin, Heilongjiang, it was also because of the short circuit of the external fan that the surrounding materials caught fire.

This series of cases are telling us that we must pay attention to the danger of short circuit of wires.

3. The awareness of using fire needs to be improved

In addition to the safety of electricity use, we should also pay attention to the awareness of using fire, especially in restaurants and kitchens. Maybe it will catch fire if you are not careful, and the consequences are really unimaginable.

Judging from the pictures taken at the scene, some houses have been seriously damaged, while some houses have lost their original appearance, which shows how serious the economic losses caused by this fire are.

What lessons should be learned from the fire? It is worth pondering.

Fires that seem to be far away from us actually happen every day, which invisibly reminds us to strengthen the safety of using fire and electricity in our lives or work, and not to treat them lightly.

For example, charging an electric car, cooking in the kitchen and using household appliances, these seemingly simple and ordinary things, we should all pay attention to. If we pay more attention, we may avoid a big fire.

For example, in crowded shopping malls, factories and restaurants, it is necessary to check the line problems regularly to prevent problems before they happen.

Write to the end

Many fires are caused by human factors, because of negligence and neglect of management, and finally tasted the consequences.

These lessons always remind us that fire is dangerous and terrible, and we need to deal with it carefully in our life and work to avoid similar problems to the greatest extent. I also hope that through this fire, more people will realize how important safety is.
