A natural gas explosion occurred in a residential area in Hangzhou, causing multiple injuries due to mice biting through gas rubber pipes.
As the end of the year approaches, safety issues deserve everyone's attention. At around 8 pm on January 7th, two loud noises occurred in the Dingqiao area of Hangzhou. A gas explosion occurred in the Jiumuyuan community, and two elderly people were injured.
The scene of the explosion was in chaos, with the kitchen windows and anti-theft windows being blown away by the blast, the ceiling also being damaged, and the elevator outside the door being blown open, demonstrating the immense power of the explosion.
意外發生后，杭州天然氣公司有關工作人員緊急趕到現場，已經將整個單元的天然氣全部關閉。
On January 8th, Hangzhou Natural Gas Company issued a notice stating that on January 7th, 2023, there was a fire and explosion incident at Room 1002, Unit 2, Building 2, Jiumuyuan. At 20:48, the company received a 110 transfer order from the group's emergency command center. At 21:12, the company's emergency repair personnel rushed to the scene as soon as possible, closed the valves of the gas climbing pipes on the ground floor of two buildings, and cut off the gas source. After entering the house, the leak detector of the emergency repair personnel showed that the gas pipeline was not leaking, and the valve in front of the stove in the user's home had been closed. After further on-site inspection by repair personnel, it was found that there was a break in the rubber tube connecting the stove, which is suspected to have been bitten by a mouse. It is preliminarily determined that the damage to the rubber tube is the cause of gas leakage.
When the reporter was on site, a homeowner also ran over and introduced himself as a resident upstairs
On the day of the incident, I was not at home. I heard that there was a gas explosion in the residential building, so I rushed back to Hangzhou yesterday. When I returned home, I found that the ceiling was damaged by the earthquake and the lights had come off.
It's said online that a mouse bit the gas pipeline, and I'm quite skeptical. How could there be a mouse in such a tall building? I haven't seen it before. "
Several neighbors told reporters, "This resident hasn't lived here for a long time, and only later did they know that the two elderly people only moved in on the same day."“
