"Captain Wang, aren't we leaving?" The residents of Room 2803 had already climbed upstairs in a hurry to check the situation of their residences. Captain Wang and others were still waiting downstairs, Bai Song asked.
"Old Sun, you guys go first," Wang said to Sun Tang and the others, "Bai Song, you stay with me. We have to wait for the elevator repairman and the insurance company to come."
"Hmm?" After Sun Tang and the others left, Bai Song was a little confused. What does this have to do with us? Thinking of this, Bai Song didn't ask. He just followed the leader's arrangement.
The elevator maintenance staff had not arrived yet, and several elderly people on the first floor were getting anxious. Generally speaking, even if the elevators here are broken or under maintenance, they would not repair two elevators at the same time, so the situation of repairing two elevators at the same time was still very serious. Gradually, twenty or thirty people gathered downstairs.
The young ones and those living on lower floors can climb up, but those on higher floors or the elderly have no way to do so.
"Can you guys please fix the elevator in such a cold weather?"
"That's right...you don't work normally, and you still do this when something happens!"
"Don't even think about asking me to pay the property management fee! I paid the money and still something like this happened!"
…
The noise downstairs gradually increased.
Chief Wang was not too anxious. He asked the property management staff to invite those who were anxious to go home to sit down there. His biggest worry now was the 28th floor. The corridor was full of water and debris. He hoped that no one would get hurt...
Everyone has their own concerns. The fat manager started to get anxious and urged the elevator maintenance department several times.
About half an hour later, the elevator repairman finally arrived, and the owner of the electric bicycles also finally arrived.
"Hello, officer." The boss saw Chief Wang and came up to greet him first.
"Well, hello, what's your name? Who are you?" Wang asked politely.
"Oh, officer, my last name is Liu, and I'm the owner of an electric car store." The owner pointed to the man next to him and said, "This is the salesperson of the electric car company."
"Hello," the salesperson next to the boss said, "Excuse me, has the fire certificate for this fire been issued?"
Wang took one look at the salesman and roughly understood his idea. He just wanted to get rid of the responsibility. He did not answer the question, but asked directly: "Has the person from your insurance company come?"
"The company manager asked me to take a look. If it's due to the battery, it's a malfunction of the product itself. If the loss is not serious, we can solve it ourselves. There is no need to let the insurance company solve it for the time being." The salesperson replied.
"Well, it will take some time for the fire department to get the fire responsibility determination letter. But when I left, Captain Li of the fire department told me that the fire was caused by a battery fire. The battery is right here, you can see for yourself." Wang pointed to a black object next to the trash can.
The burning of batteries can easily release a large amount of toxic gas. Even after the fire is out, this thing is still toxic. So when Captain Li and others came down, they took this thing down and placed it outside.
"Well, let me see," the salesperson took off his gloves, took out his mobile phone from his bag, took several photos of the battery from different angles, and probably sent them to the people in the company.
At this moment, the resident of Room 2803 also came down from the building. Although she was not tired from going downstairs, the woman's legs were still a little weak. "Comrade police officer, we are fine at home."
"Isn't there a fire at the socket in the house?" Wang asked.
"Well, no." The woman was still catching her breath. "There's nothing at home, but there's nothing in the hallway."
At this moment, the fat manager also came over and said, "The elevator repairman just said that the electrical box on the 28th floor burned out. The repair plan I have discussed is to shut down the elevator on the 28th floor first, and the elevator can only stop on the 27th and 29th floors. Then start the elevator early, and then go back to get new parts, and then come back to repair them one by one."
Wang nodded and expressed his approval of this plan.
Another half an hour later, the elevator restarted. Professional staff are different. For this maintenance, the four elevator workers charged 3,000 yuan. The fat manager paid the money with reluctance, and his eyes frequently glanced at the owner and salesman of the electric car.
"Remember to send us the invoice!" said the fat man with heartache, and sent the four technicians away.
Many people began waiting for the elevator. After about ten minutes, all the residents were evacuated. Bai Song and a group of six people took the elevator to the 27th floor.
The fat manager was still in shock. He was afraid that he would have to climb again...
The salesman was not a technician. He took photos everywhere after he got upstairs. After a while, he came over and asked, "Why is there an iron gasoline barrel here? The company asked me to ask, was the fire caused by gasoline burning or battery spontaneous combustion?"
Chief Wang looked around the corridor and saw no surveillance cameras. He didn't say anything. This insurance and compensation had nothing to do with the police station.
The police station cannot intervene in purely economic issues. There are two main reasons why Chief Wang has stayed here until now. One is to make sure the elevator can operate to prevent any elderly people with health problems from getting into trouble. After all, today is the fourth day of the ninth lunar month. It is no joke that dozens or hundreds of people cannot return home. The second reason is to clean up the fire scene to avoid secondary injuries and to prevent the property, residents, and insurance companies from making trouble.
Endless worry...
"Although there is a problem with the gasoline barrel, it is an iron barrel. How could it possibly catch fire spontaneously?" the resident of Room 2803 retorted.
"It's true that gasoline barrels are not easy to spontaneously ignite, but if you put the gasoline barrels next to electric wires, who can tell for sure? Even if the fire report from the fire department says that the cause of the fire was an electric vehicle battery, who can be sure whether it was the gasoline that ignited the battery?" said the salesperson.
"Impossible," the fat manager quickly interrupted, "Everything is subject to the fire department's responsibility determination letter!" The fat man's voice was a little loud. He was afraid that the responsibility would eventually be pushed onto the residents. If the property company wanted to get the money, it would have to wait until the Chinese national football team qualified for the World Cup.
"You are from the property management company, right?" The salesman turned to the fat man and said, "The senior management does not allow electric vehicles to be driven upstairs, and does not allow the storage of flammable and explosive items such as gasoline in the corridors. Even the emergency exits are not allowed to store anything! Do you dare to say that you have no responsibility?"
The fat man was stunned for a moment, thinking that this salesman was a salesman after all, and every word he said hit the nail on the head, but the fat man was not a pushover: "Nothing you said can hide the fact that this battery spontaneously combusted under normal charging conditions!"
"Well, let's wait for the fire department's determination. If they conclude without any evidence that the battery caught fire first and then the gasoline burned, I will file a review application with them!" The salesperson's tone became tough.
