Okungenani abantu abayisikhombisa balimele ngesikhathi kuqubuka umlilo wama-alamu amahlanu endaweni yaseBronx, eNew York City okucatshangwa ukuthi udalwe yibhethri ye-lithium-ion, ngokusho kwezikhulu zomlilo.
Umuntu oyisakhamuzi kanye nesisebenzi sezimo eziphuthumayo balimele kabi, kwathi izicishamlilo ezinhlanu zithole imihuzukwana, kusho uMnyango Wezomlilo waseNew York utshele i-CNN ngeSonto.
Cishe abezicishamlilo abangama-200 bebelwisana nomlilo, oqale ophahleni lwengxenye engemuva yesakhiwo sezentengiselwano esinezinga elilodwa eGrand Concourse naku-181st Street, ngokusho koMnyango Wamaphoyisa aseNew York.
UKhomishana we-FDNY uLaura Kavanagh utshele izintatheli endaweni yesigameko ngeSonto ukuthi imbangela yomlilo kube yibhethri ye-lithium-ion, esebenza ngesikuta.
“Kuyo yonke le mililo, le mililo ye-lithium-ion, ayishisi kancane akukho mlilo omncane, uqhuma ngokoqobo,” kusho uKavanagh. “Kungumlilo omkhulu ngokushesha nje lapho kwenzeka, futhi kunzima kakhulu ukuwucisha ngakho kuyingozi kakhulu.”
UKavanagh uthe izicishamlilo zifike emlilweni ngezithuba zabo-10.41 ekuseni, ngaphansi kwemizuzu emine ngemuva kocingo lokuqala. Bonke abayisikhombisa abalimele kulo mlilo bathathwa njengabazinzile, kusho yena.
“Sikwazile ukuthi singalahlekelwa yizimpilo zethu namuhla, kodwa kunomonakalo ongajwayelekile. Lonke leli bhilidi elingemuva kwami selicekeleke phansi,” kusho uKavanagh. “Uphahla lubhodlokile, akusekho lutho, futhi kungenxa yaleli bhayisikili elilodwa.”
UKhomishana uthe kusadingeka kwenziwe olunye uphenyo ukuze kutholakale ukuthi kungani ibhayisikili ligqamuke amalangabi. Uthe kungenzeka ukuthi ibisebenzisa ibhethri elingekho emthethweni.
Isikuta besipakwe ngaphakathi engxenyeni engemuva yesitolo segrosa. Izikhulu zithe akukaziwa ukuthi leli bhayisikili likabani.
Umnyango wezicishamlilo ku-tweet ividiyo yomlilo okhelayo. Isithombe sibonakala sithathwe kukhamera yezokuphepha futhi sibonisa othile esabela emlilweni futhi esusa isikuta ngaphambi kokuba ilangabi lishube.
IMeya yeDolobha laseNew York u-Eric Adams utshele ingqungquthela yezindaba yangeSonto: “Inhloso yethu yangempela ukwazisa umphakathi ukuthi into elula nebonwa njengokuzijabulisa ingaba yingozi kakhulu futhi ingabulala abantu abangenacala. Inkinga ngempela lena esibhekene nayo edolobheni.”
U-Adams wengeze wathi, “Isikuta esisebenza ngamabhethri esilula kanje, abantu baphuma ezindlini zabo, bahamba ezindaweni zabo zamabhizinisi, basuka ezindaweni zabo zokudlela, basishiye sipakiwe isikhathi esiningi ezindaweni abasuke bezongena kuzo. akufanele ipakwe.”
“Ividiyo iyabanda, uma ubona ukuthi lo mlilo uqale futhi wabhebhetheka ngokushesha kangakanani, uzokunika ithuba lokuthi ume kancane,” kusho u-Adams. Weluleke umphakathi ukuthi usebenzise kuphela amabhethri e-lithium-ion asemthethweni futhi ungafaki amabhethri e-lithium-ion endlini.
Izikhulu zomlilo zithe umlilo ucime kakhulu kodwa “amaphakethe omlilo” asekhona. Izicishamlilo zizohlala esizeni ubusuku bonke ukuze ziqinisekise ukuthi umlilo awukhuphuki.
NgoLwesihlanu, uKavanagh uthe kube nemililo engaphezu kuka-400 edalwe amabhethri e-lithium-ion eNew York City eminyakeni emine edlule.
Engxenyeni yemibono yewebhusayithi yendawo, UKavanagh uthe: “Le mililo iqala ngokushesha, ikhula ngokushesha, inikeza isikhathi esincane sokubaleka, idla yonke into esendleleni yayo, futhi kunzima kakhulu ukuyicisha.”
