A truck of firecrackers in Liaoning caught fire and exploded with fireworks. What was the cause of the fire?

February 4, Fuxin, Liaoning. In Zhangwu County, a truck carrying firecrackers caught fire. Firecrackers went off and fireworks were fired. The truck was burned to a black frame. Firefighters rushed to the scene to deal with it. As of press time, the accident has been resolved, and the cause of the fire and damage are subject to further investigation.

It is rare for fireworks and firecrackers to have accidents during transportation. Explosions are mostly caused by high temperature, open flame, static electricity, friction and spontaneous combustion. Although accidents during the transportation of fireworks and firecrackers will cause important property losses and personal injuries, the probability of accidents is relatively small. The accidents caused by people setting off fireworks and firecrackers themselves are far more than transportation accidents, especially during the Spring Festival. .

Now the Spring Festival is coming soon, and it will be indispensable to set off fireworks to celebrate the arrival of the New Year. Although setting off fireworks and firecrackers during the Spring Festival is very festive, there are often news reports of accidents caused by setting off fireworks and firecrackers, turning a festive New Year into a tragedy. So how to set off fireworks safely? Here are four aspects that need attention:

1. Purchase regular fireworks. When purchasing fireworks, be sure to pay attention to whether the product packaging box has the "Ordinary Fireworks and Firecrackers Identification Code" affixed on it. If not, it is a fake and shoddy product, and their safety cannot be guaranteed when setting off. And when purchasing fireworks, try to choose neatly packaged ones. Such fireworks have the smallest chance of accidents.

2. Choose to open the fire in an open area. When setting off fireworks, you should go to open areas and not close to crowded places, buildings, flammable and explosive places, trees, grass, firewood stacks, etc. Otherwise, it is easy to cause personal injury or property damage. And before setting off, you should read the precautions marked on the outer packaging of fireworks and firecrackers, and operate carefully according to the instructions for setting off. If there is no sound after igniting, do not go forward to check immediately. Instead, wait 15 minutes from a safe distance before looking. ??

3. Children setting off firecrackers should be supervised by adults. Since children are curious and careless, they often don't pay attention to the precautions on the packaging of firecrackers, and then throw them around after lighting them. Wasn't there a news a few days ago about a child who lit firecrackers and threw them into the sewer, causing a violent explosion? The child above caused such a disaster because of his novelty when setting off firecrackers. Therefore, children must be supervised by adults when setting off firecrackers, otherwise it is easy to cause accidents.

4. Storage location. Since fireworks and firecrackers are flammable items, they should not be stored at too high a temperature and should not be placed near a stove or radiator.
