1 person killed in Shenzhen residential explosion and fire

On the afternoon of December 11, a fire broke out on a floor of Shenzhen Yuefu Phase II, and someone fell from a high floor. The Shenzhen Fire Rescue Detachment reported that as of 18:00, the open fire had been extinguished, and the accident caused 1 death and no other injuries. The cause of the accident is under further investigation. At around 20:00, the on-site rescue personnel told reporters that the search and rescue work has been completed. The fire cause investigators have arrived at the floor involved to carry out work.

According to the on-site rescue personnel, after preliminary investigation, the fire point was located near Unit C on the 28th floor of the residential building. The cause of the fire was a gas explosion, and the cause of the explosion is still under investigation. The floors that burned were mainly the 27th, 28th, 29th, 30th and 31st floors. After investigation, no trapped people were found among the residents involved.
The rescue personnel found at the scene that part of the floor between the 28th and 29th floors was blown through. There was a small area of ​​perforation in the floor between the 27th and 28th floors.

“The floor of the 28th floor is concave, and the ceiling is convex.” Rescuers speculated that this was because the air pressure on the 28th floor was higher when the explosion occurred, “propping it up.” In the residents of the 27th to 30th floors, the living room glass fell off in large areas.

Rescuers said that the residents of the house had pre-installed armored doors and sky locks. After the incident, it was difficult for rescuers to break them from the outside, “it took half an hour to break them open.” The reporter searched and found that the armored door is a kind of steel-wood door, with steel and wood as the structure, and the door leaves are made of steel plates buckled around, and some are welded. The steel plate in the middle can improve the anti-theft performance. The sky lock is a device with a lock tongue installed at the top and bottom of the door frame to enhance the anti-theft performance of the door.
