Xe điện có thực sự dễ bốc cháy hơn xe chạy xăng? Theo số liệu nghiên cứu, xe điện KHÔNG dễ bốc cháy hơn so với xe dùng động cơ đốt trong. Tỷ lệ cháy ở xe điện còn thấp hơn nhiều do được trang bị hệ thống an toàn hiện đại và kiểm soát nhiệt nghiêm ngặt.

Chung cư cấm xe điện: Nỗi lo an toàn và quản lý từ các đơn vị vận hành. Nhiều chung cư từ chối cho xe máy điện, xe đạp điện vào vì nguy cơ cháy nổ, khó kiểm soát và chi phí giám sát cao. Dù xe điện thân thiện môi trường, nhưng hạ tầng và quy định quản lý còn thiếu, khiến việc lưu trữ an toàn trở thành thách thức. Người dùng gặp khó, cần giải pháp đồng bộ từ chính sách đến thiết kế kỹ thuật.

Dehumidifier blamed for basement blaze at Neath home

Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service said crews from Neath, Morriston and Port Talbot were called to Allister Street at 9.22am on October 9.

The fire broke out in the basement of a four‑storey mid‑terrace house. Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used a hose reel jet to bring the flames under control. Thermal imaging cameras and a positive pressure ventilation fan were then deployed to check for hotspots and clear smoke from the property.

The blaze was confirmed to have been caused accidentally by a dehumidifier that was too small for the size of the room it was placed in, leading it to become overworked and overheated.

Crews left the scene just over an hour later, at 10.23am.

Safety reminder

With colder months approaching, the fire service has urged householders to take care when using dehumidifiers and other electrical appliances.

A spokesperson said the incident highlighted the risks of using a device that is not suitable for the space it is intended to cover. They also stressed the importance of keeping doors closed inside properties, noting that in this case the closed basement door prevented the fire spreading and limited smoke damage to the rest of the home.

Aftermath

Photographs released after the incident show the charred remains of the dehumidifier and extensive fire damage to the basement room, which was left blackened by smoke and flames.
