At about 9 p.m. on February 26, the Jiading Fire Department received an alarm that a fire broke out in the stairwell on the 17th floor of Building 14 in a community on Cizhu Road.
Search up from the 17th floor to see if there are any people trapped inside. After the fire rescue personnel arrived at the scene, they used wall-type fire hydrants and fire hoses to extinguish the fire, and knocked on the doors of the building to evacuate the residents in the building.
When we arrived at the scene, we could see a lot of smoke coming out of the window downstairs. Chen Chen, the leader of the first squad of the Jiabei Fire and Rescue Station of the Jiading District Fire and Rescue Detachment, recalled, "After arriving on the 17th floor, the battery of the battery car was still smoking and blazing, and the visibility at the scene was very low. ”
The battery car will produce a large amount of high-temperature, toxic and harmful smoke in the corridor, which can easily cause suffocation of the trapped people and seriously threaten the life safety of the residents of the entire building. Chen Chen said bluntly that because the space in the stairwell is very narrow, it also brings certain difficulties to the rescue operation. Fortunately, the firefighters fought bravely, and the electric bicycle fire was quickly extinguished, and there were no people.
After the on-site investigation of the fire department, the fire area of the disaster was about 2 square meters, and the battery of the electric bicycle was a lead-acid battery, and there were traces of short circuit in the electrical circuit.
According to the owner of the car, Li, the reason why the electric bicycle is parked in the 17-story corridor is to facilitate charging. Due to negligence caused the fire, Li was sentenced to 3 days of administrative detention in accordance with the law.
I regret being detained because of this. Li said, "I don't always park upstairs, I'll take it down when I charge it." (I think) so many people are charged like this, the probability of a safety accident must be very small, (I think) it can't happen to me, there is still a fluke in my heart. ”

Coincidentally, in the early morning of March 4, a fire broke out in a residential area in Xuhui District, causing damage to three electric bicycles and some air conditioners. After receiving the alarm, Xuhui Fire arrived at the scene in time to deal with it.
According to the investigation of the Xuhui Fire Department, at about 1 o'clock in the morning on March 4, resident Liang caused a fire during the illegal charging of electric bicycles at the door of his rented house, causing 3 electric bicycles to be burned at the scene. Liang was sentenced to 10 days of administrative detention for negligence in causing the disaster.
At about 8:33 p.m. on the same day (March 4), another lithium-ion battery fire broke out in the elevator hall on the 7th floor of a certain Guangzhong Road.
*The building is a 25-storey commercial and residential building. After investigation and visit, at about 6:30 p.m. on March 4, Li, who lives in room 701, took his grandson home and took the lithium-ion battery of the electric bicycle home to charge it. At about 8:30 p.m. that night, my grandson smelled smoke in the room and saw black smoke coming out of the battery that was charged in the study, accompanied by a sizzling sound. Subsequently, Li immediately threw the smoking battery and charger to the elevator hall on the 7th floor. Soon after, the battery caught fire**. Li quickly closed the door and called the police. Fortunately, firefighters arrived at the scene in time to deal with it, and the fire did not spread further. At present, Li has been sentenced to 10 days of administrative detention and fined 500 yuan.
The battery does not enter the house, and the people and vehicles are different houses".
In order to deeply learn the lessons of the recent fire accidents, effectively promote the strict management of fire safety in the public parts of the community, and eliminate the hidden dangers of outstanding problems such as illegal parking and charging of electric bicycles, the Shanghai fire department has carried out fire safety staggered night inspection actions in residential communities in the city since February 27.
Once the electric bicycle (or battery) is charged indoors, it is very easy to cause mass deaths and injuries. We have repeatedly emphasized that 'batteries do not enter the house, people and vehicles are not in the same house'. A fire prevention supervisor said that the "Shanghai Municipal Regulations on the Safety Management of Non-Motorized Vehicles" clearly stipulates that "electric bicycles are prohibited from parking and charging in the foyer, shared walkways, stairwells, corridors and other common parts of the building, as well as evacuation passages, safety exits, fire truck passages and areas on both sides of which affect traffic, and indoor areas of crowded places."
The fire prevention supervisor also reminded the general public that in order to prevent electric bicycle fires, it is necessary to purchase electric bicycles with good quality through regular manufacturers; The circuits, chargers and batteries of electric bicycles should be checked regularly to eliminate hidden faults; Remember not to modify your e-bike without permission.
