Engineer Nguyen Manh Cuong said that there are many causes of car fires, only the authorities can get involved to clarify. However, when the vehicle caught fire, it was related to heat. For example, during operation, an open or burning electric wire caught by a rat on the gasoline can lead to a fire or explosion. However, if the vehicle is parked, the possibility of generating heat and burning is very low.
However, engineer Nguyen Manh Cuong also warned that rat bites on electric wires in cars is potentially dangerous, including the risk of fire and explosion when the vehicle is in operation. Every month, his garage receives many cases of mice punching holes in the compartment, biting electric wires and gasoline.
If not handled promptly, mice biting the electric wire can easily cause an electrical short circuit and fire when the vehicle is operating on the road.
Mr. Cuong analyzed, when the mouse bit the electric conductor and then bite the rubber layer in the petrol wire. The open wire, emitting electric sparks in the bun, the source of gasoline flows from Tuyet and leads to a car fire. That is, if the vehicle is burnt must converge two factors: ignition wire and gasoline. This usually happens while operating.
In order to prevent the risk of fire and explosion, people need to regularly open the bonnet to check the engine compartment, observe and detect the smell of raw gasoline, the smell of mouse decomposes to promptly handle. If you are careful, the owner should cover the gene tube to seal the electric lines, fuel paths to prevent rat bite, spray mosquitoes, spray RV7 anti -mouse spray into the entire engine ... In addition, the car owner should not leave the car in too dense places, often change the parking space so that the rat does not get into the car compartment as a drive.
Previously, public opinion was stirred up by the incident of singer Duy Manh's car burning in the apartment basement. Sharing on social media, singer Duy Manh said that the incident happened in 2023, when his Mercedes-Benz S450 worth 5 billion VND ( newly purchased in 2020) suddenly caught fire while parked on the second floor of an apartment building in Ho Chi Minh City.
The singer said that at that time the car was turned off, the power off, the capo lock was locked. His family members contacted the hotline of the car company for assistance but the company's staff refused to send people to. After that, protecting the apartment must use the bowl to pry the capo to continue spraying water.
Due to the widespread fire, at risk of other vehicles and the safety of the whole building, the apartment management board called the police. After completely extinguishing, the car was pulled to the parking force by the police in Thu Duc city and conducted sealing.
While the police were assessing the cause of the fire, the singer's car was left in the outdoor parking lot for nearly a month.
The singer said that on the day he was allowed to receive the car, the representative of the company and the singer's family were present to take the car to the inspection workshop. When opening the capo, there were many leaves and garbage inside, because the car had been outdoors for weeks, so the mouse could have gotten later. About a month later, the police announced the conclusion that the cause of the fire was due to electric shock.
The insurance company later base on the inspection results to compensate the singer the amount of about VND 2.9 billion, calculated according to the value of the old car. However, the car company refused to be responsible. After re -assessment, the company said that the cause of the fire was caused by rodents, because there were signs of mouse decomposition and garbage in the engine compartment.
Duy Manh said that he did not agree with the above conclusion and decided to file a lawsuit in court. Due to the performance schedule, the lawyer will represent singer Duy Manh to attend the next mediation session on April 25, at the People's Court of Go Vap District, Ho Chi Minh City.
