Case 1. In November 2023, a fire broke out in a small community in Changsha City, Hunan Province. After receiving the alarm, the Changsha Fire and Rescue Detachment immediately dispatched 5 fire trucks and 28 fire rescue personnel to the scene for disposal. After the firefighters arrived at the scene, they found that it was bedding and other household items**, and after about 25 minutes of intense fighting, the open fire at the scene was extinguished. The fire burned an area of about 30 square meters, but fortunately, it was dealt with in time and did not make **personnel**.

At this time, the firefighters tried to block the inlet and outlet of the hair dryer with gloves and towels respectively, and after reaching a certain temperature, the hair dryer automatically turned off the power immediately.

The firefighter turned on another hair dryer without overheating protection device, blocked the hair dryer outlet with a towel, and about 1 minute, the heating wire of the hair dryer began to turn red, white smoke came out of the fuselage, and there was a burnt smell at the scene, accompanied by a bang, the hair dryer was burned out, the towel was also burned, and the hair dryer was unusable at this time.
