At 4:39 a.m. on February 23, a terrible incident occurred in Building 6, Mingshang Xiyuan, Yuhuatai District, NanjingFire。The fire, which took six hours to extinguish, ultimately killed 15 people and 44 people were hospital**, of whom one was critical, one was seriously ill and 42 were in minor condition. After investigation,FireThe cause is one layerOverhead layerA parked electric car ignitedFire。It is reminiscent of countless similar tragedies before, reminding us again and again that the safety of electric vehicles is still not given enough attention. Facing this timeFireWe have to ask, where is the responsibility?
This is not the first time that Mingshang Xiyuan has happenedFireFinish. According to The Paper, it has already happened once in 2019Fire, and the property in the community where the incident occurred is the property that was complained about by residents as reported by Nanjing Radio and Television's "Rule of Law Scene" column in April 2022. At the time, residents complained that they were parking their electric vehicles atOverhead layer, that is, in the corridor next to the door of the unit on the first floor, there is a noticeableFirefightingHidden trouble. However, although some concern was raised at the time, the problem was not resolved, and as a result, the tragedy was repeated again.
The property's inaction on the hidden dangers of electric vehicle parking is very angry. As a property company, they shoulder the responsibility of maintaining the safety of residents, but they only care about charging residents feesFirefightingThere is a lack of effective management and measures for security issues. As a place to park electric vehicles in a centralized mannerOverhead layerThere is already a huge security risk, once it happensFireIt will not only pose a threat to residents inside and outside the building, but also produce a high concentration of toxic fumes, which will further endanger life safety.
We cannot tolerate the inaction of the property management company, and we must have a showdown with them and cut the grass to the roots. We should require property companies to build charging sheds in front of each building to provide safer and compliant electric vehiclesFirefightingRequired parking environment. For non-complianceFirefightingProperty companies with safety requirements should impose severe fines to force them to perform their management responsibilities effectively. Only in this way will we be able to reduce the likenessFireThe tragedy occurs to ensure the safety of every family.
Through **and**, it can be clearly seen that there are 6 buildings in Nanjing Mingshang West GardenFireSmoke billowed from the scene, and even open flames appeared. SuchFireThe scene is shocking, and what makes people even more frightened is theseFireThe black smoke produced in the body is far more harmful to the human body than the open flame.
When an electric car**, the air will be filled with toxic smoke, the main components of which are:Carbon monoxide（co）、Cyanide(CN) and organic matter and carbon dioxide (CO2). After these toxic fumes enter the human body, they will have a negative impact on the respiratory system, nervous system andCardiovascular systemand so on. Toxic smoke can quickly take over indoor air, leaving people with nowhere to escape. Exposure to high concentrations of harmful gases such as CO and CN for a short period of time can cause dizziness, nausea, vomiting, shock, and even death.
InFireAt the scene of the incident, it is inevitable that there will be a large amount of smoke and heat. For people trapped inside a fire, proper escape methods and safety knowledge are crucial. EncounteredFireFirst of all, stay calm, try to avoid breathing toxic fumes, cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel, and find a safe exit as soon as possible. If the exit is blocked, a wet towel can be attached to the crack of the door to reduce the ingress of toxic fumes. At the same time, tap hardwindowsOr shout for help to seek outside help.
However, in fact, a lot of people areFirePanic caused the wrong way to escape, which led to more serious consequences. Therefore, we need to strengthenFirePublicity and education of escape and self-rescue knowledge to improve residents' awareness of self-protection to reduceFireBrought**.
For avoiding similaritiesFireThe tragedy happened again, and we should pay attention to it and take corresponding measures to strictly control the parking of electric vehicles. First of all, property companies should formulate strict management regulations that clearly prohibit the parking of electric vehiclesOverhead layeretcFirefightingIn the vicinity of the passage, at the same time, patrols will be strengthened to find and deal with illegally parked electric vehicles in a timely manner. At the same time, a sound monitoring system should be established to monitor the parking of electric vehicles in the community in real time and find them in timeFireHidden trouble. In addition, in order to put an end to electric vehiclesFireResidents should also consciously abide by the parking order and do not park electric vehicles at willFirefightingpassages and other non-conforming places.
In addition, the first department should also strengthen supervision, increase the safety and quality of electric vehicles, and recall and deal with electric vehicles with major safety hazards. In addition, it is recommended to guide and support the construction of electric vehicle charging facilities for community owners, provide a safe and convenient charging environment for owners, and reduce the risk of parking electric vehicles in public areas.
Finally, we would like to remind the general public that life is not child's play. in the everydaylifeWe should always pay attention to the safety of ourselves and others, especially when using and parking electric vehicles. While ensuring your own safety, you should also actively speak up for the safety of others, show down to irresponsible property companies, and protect the safety of more families!
