Accident Occurs During Reinforcement
Around 1 PM on the afternoon of the previous day, a fire broke out at a factory called Guyun Electronic Wood Art Co., Ltd. in the Tongfuyi Industrial Zone of Tianxin Community in Pingshan New Area. According to eyewitnesses, large plumes of black smoke could be seen from afar. This enterprise mainly produced wood products, and the fire occurred on the second and third floors of a four-story factory building. There was thinner stored there, along with other flammable materials, which caused a big fire. However, since the fire started during the lunch break, there were no casualties. Around 4 PM on the afternoon of the previous day, a reporter from Southern Metropolis Daily arrived at the entrance of the factory area and saw obvious signs of soot on the exterior walls of the affected factory. Police cars were frequently entering and exiting the factory premises for investigation.
After the fire broke out at the factory, the emergency fire department and public security fire officers from the Pingshan Office immediately rushed to the scene to put out the fire. Due to the large fire, more fire trucks were dispatched for reinforcement, but an accident occurred during this process. According to eyewitnesses, around 2 PM in the afternoon, a fire truck heading for reinforcement drove along Jintian Road from the Pingshan direction towards the fire scene. Before reaching the intersection of the industrial zone, the fire truck made an early left turn. After being reminded by bystanders on the roadside, the vehicle returned to the road. During this process, it collided with an electric scooter. The fire truck had been continuously sounding its siren as a warning while moving forward.
According to video footage taken by a bystander, at the time, the front of the fire truck was parked on the left side of the road, and the man on the electric scooter lay on the ground behind the car. Firefighters and 120 medical personnel were simultaneously present to handle the situation. The injured man was then sent to Pingshan People's Hospital for emergency treatment.
Doctors at Pingshan People's Hospital introduced that when the man was brought to the hospital, his pupils were already dilated, he was unconscious, his blood pressure was very low, and there was damage to his internal organs. Moreover, his right calf was fractured. After emergency treatment, he eventually died in the afternoon due to respiratory and circulatory failure. The man was named He Zhong and was 47 years old.
