At 1:40, when the firefighters arrived at the scene, they saw that a tanker was surrounded by a fire and the sky was filled with fire. Along the road, there were still a lot of roaring fires. The air was filled with a pungent odor. Through the investigation, it was discovered that the tanker had exploded after the fire had rolled over and the driver had safely escaped. The fire brigade set up two foam guns to cover the tanker cars and outflow of gasoline, and immediately set off the cordon on the road to evacuate the crowds and vehicles. At the same time, they called the detachment command center to request reinforcements. The detachment headquarters immediately dispatched and mobilized the special service.

After three hours of cooling, the remaining gasoline in the tank car was inverted after the temperature was completely lowered. The accident did not cause greater disasters and personal losses. The specific reasons are under investigation.
