Circuit short-circuit caused university dormitory fire pit ceiling burnt black

At 6:53 a.m. yesterday, the Fuzhou Public Security Fire Brigade received an urgent call about a fire breaking out in a student dormitory on the sixth floor of Zhicheng College, Fuzhou University, located at No. 50 Yangqiao West Road in Gulou District. As soon as the alarm was received, four fire trucks and over 20 firefighters rushed to the scene to begin rescue operations. According to the on-site commander, the fire was intense, with flames and thick smoke visible from the balcony. Firefighters quickly deployed a vertical water stream to the sixth-floor building. Upon entering, they found the interior completely engulfed in flames, with ceilings and walls collapsed, and beds and wardrobes reduced to scorched remains. “The temperature inside was extremely high. Even through our protective gear, we could still feel the intense heat,” one firefighter reported. An hour later, the fire was finally under control, and after a thorough search, it was confirmed that no one was injured. Despite the quick response, some concerns were raised about the timing of the alarm. According to school staff, the affected dormitory was a four-person room, and all students had already left for winter vacation on the 16th. They were scheduled to return after the Lantern Festival. Therefore, there were no students present during the fire. However, the fire spread rapidly once the fire department arrived. A commander from the Shangpu Fire Squadron explained that their unit was closer to the campus and reached the scene quickly. They found several fire extinguishers at the door, and according to the staff and security guards, students had attempted to put out the fire initially but failed to contain it before help arrived. The commander suggested that the school may have delayed reporting the fire, which could have cost valuable time for early intervention. Preliminary investigations by the Gulou District Fire Department indicated that the fire likely started due to an electrical short circuit. The fire burned approximately 15 square meters, and no students were present at the time. Authorities ruled out the possibility of arson based on the scene’s evidence. Fire control personnel also warned the school about potential hazards. They found multiple dormitories with computers, lamps, and other appliances still plugged in, including empty electric kettles left connected. “Leaving these devices powered on for long periods increases the risk of electrical faults such as voltage instability, leakage, short circuits, or overheated wires,” one official noted. “If not detected in time, such issues can easily lead to fires.” This article is a republished version of content from online media, and it reflects the views of the original author.
