Jiangxi Zhangshu a tanker gas station near the fire two cars were burned (Figure)

At 15:44 on August 29, a small car collided with a tanker near the Hexi gas station on the Qingping Highway in Yushu City, Jiangxi Province. The tanker quickly caught fire and both cars were destroyed by the fire.

Three minutes later, local fire officers and soldiers arrived at the scene. The two accident vehicles were already burning heavily, black smoke rushed up and the site commander immediately blocked the lane. It is understood that the tanker is loaded with 17.7 tons of gasoline and there is a gas station located less than 50 meters away. The on-site fire commander immediately ordered the laying of two water gun trunks. One directly suppresses the fire and cools the tank of the tanker to prevent the explosion; the other gun cools the gas station aside.

At 15:55 on August 29, two fire engines that came to reinforce were also on site. The high-emission fire engine directly puts out the fire of the car from top to bottom. The other gun cools the tanker tank. After nearly 90 minutes of fighting, the open flame of the tanker full of gasoline was finally extinguished, but due to prolonged burning, the temperature of the body of the tanker was still high, and there was a possibility of rekindling at any time. To prevent the fire from recurring, the fire officers and men continued to call up two water guns while cooling the vehicle body for several hours. The cause of the accident is still under investigation. (Finish)
