Natural gas pipeline explosion in Yichang residential building. What was the cause of the explosion?

A natural gas leakage accident occurred in Zhangjiadian Community, Wujiagang District, Yichang City, Hubei Province. Four people were injured in this natural gas leakage accident. At present, the injured have been sent to the central hospital for treatment, and the nearby people have also been evacuated. A large area of residential buildings also collapsed and damaged, and the cause of the accident is under further investigation.

At present, the explosion site has been isolated and residents have been evacuated. Fire, public security, emergency and other relevant departments should do a good job of on-site disposal.

As we all know, natural gas is a kind of clean energy and very environmentally friendly. Therefore, natural gas can be used instead of coal to reduce environmental pollution caused by energy use. Natural gas can also be used to generate electricity and help alleviate the energy shortage. Because the construction of natural gas requires little investment and the construction period is short, natural gas is easy to popularize and can be accepted by the general public as an energy source.

Although natural gas does not contain harmful gases like gas, when the concentration reaches a certain level, there will be a big explosion in the presence of an open flame, and the explosion will also cause casualties.

Therefore, life is precious, so we must pay attention to the safety awareness of gas use. Pay enough attention to the protection measures such as gas facilities and equipment. We must first understand the causes of gas leakage, that is, the gasket at the joint of gas pipeline is damaged for various reasons, the gas meter of gas pipeline is damaged, and the rubber pipe at the joint of gas pipeline is aging. Because gas has these safety hazards, people must be careful when using natural gas, and don't tamper with the related equipment of natural gas at will, which will leave some safety hazards at home.

In order to prevent this natural gas explosion accident, in addition to daily life, we should also pay attention to indoor ventilation and don't let our house be in a closed environment. At the same time, strengthen the monitoring of combustible gas in natural gas pipelines on weekdays, and install and use combustible gas detectors. Once the gas concentration exceeds the national specified value, sound and light alarm should be given, and the fan should be linked according to the field situation to avoid such gas explosion accidents.

In our daily life, we should always check whether the hose connecting the gas pipeline and gas appliance is squashed, aged, loose, bitten by sharp objects or rats. If the above phenomenon occurs, you should contact the gas company immediately. This is a long and boring job. Although tedious, it is also a habit of work. As long as you form this good habit, danger will stay away from you!

Don't place inflammable and explosive materials beside the natural gas pipeline. Around the natural gas pipeline, a certain space should be reserved to release the concentration of natural gas and reduce the ignition point. Reduce the probability of gas explosion and buy time for rescue.

Finally, Bian Xiao reminded everyone that when danger comes, we must calmly deal with it, so as to save the day and protect our lives.
