Today I finally saw clearly the true identity of container mobile homes and prefabricated houses. Before, I always thought that container mobile homes were more convenient to install and use. Others should not be much different from prefabricated houses. But today I witnessed the fire accident that made me Surprised - the living container did not catch fire, but the prefabricated house next to it had been burned beyond recognition. Here is what happened.
I went to the market to buy groceries this morning, and every time I passed a subway station under construction. The temporary housing used in this subway station include traditional prefab houses and new container prefab houses, and both houses are two-story. , only about 3 meters apart. I'm used to it every time I pass by there, but today I saw thick smoke coming out from a distance and the fire was very fierce. There was a crowd of onlookers all around, the good thing had just started burning, and the fire trucks were on their way.
I got closer to see some specific conditions and found that the prefabricated house was burned beyond recognition and was severely deformed. It might be an internal explosion that caused such a serious accident. It seemed that someone inside was injured and was on his way to a nearby hospital. The fire truck has arrived at the scene, and the staff immediately took measures to extinguish the fire. The fire was extinguished in about ten minutes. The scene was really terrifying.
However, the container house 3 meters away did not catch fire. Although the fire had spread to the container house, only the color of the sandwich panel on the exterior wall changed slightly, which may be the result of high temperature burning. The onlookers wondered why the container mobile home did not catch fire? Later, the fire brigade staff said that the container mobile home uses sandwich panels of flame-retardant materials, which will dissolve under high temperatures but will not burn. The so-called high temperature has to reach several hundred degrees, but the combustion here has not reached such a high temperature, so the sandwich panels of the container will not be burned and dissolved.
After listening to what the fire brigade staff said, I finally understood that container mobile homes have such good characteristics. This kind of temporary housing should be vigorously promoted in the future. After all, safety comes first.
