7 Cars Burst Into Flames In Scorching UAE Heat by LEOSIRSIR(m): 6:34am On Aug 03, 2017 |
Seven cars have caught fire in two months due to the blazing heat in Umm Al Quwain. On Wednesday morning, a massive fire broke out in a saloon car on Etihad Road in Hadath area, thanks to the sweltering mercury. Col Hassan Ali Mohammed bin Sarm, director of the UAQ civil defence department, said the car suddenly went up in flames though it was parked and was not operating. The central operations room of the UAQ Police was alerted about the blaze around 10.30am. A traffic police, ambulances, paramedics and rescue teams were dispatched to the site. The civil defence firefighters first evacuated all the nearby shops and cordoned off the entire place. "The firefighters managed to put out the fire before it could spread to nearby shops and outlets, and no injuries were reported," he added. Investigations are on to ascertain the reasons behind the fire, Col Bin Sarm said. "The case has been referred to the legal authorities concerned for legal action." A few days back, a massive fire broke out in a heavy truck close to the Umm Al Thawb industrial area. The vehicle caught fire after the driver lost control over the steering wheel. It veered off Etihad Road and turned over several times. In July, a four-wheel-drive car was gutted in a fire in a house at the Salma residential area. The fire was triggered by scorching summer temperatures. The same month, a heavy truck caught fire and completely charred on Emirates Road apparently due to heat. On June 30, a four-wheel-drive car was reduced to ashes in the industrial area as the blazing heat took a toll. On June 26, two cars were destroyed in a heat-related fire at the Old Umm Al Quwain city. Col Hassan Ali Mohammed bin Sarm has called on all drivers to carry out regular maintenance service, particularly in summer, and check any possible fuel or oil leaks which are mostly blamed for such fires. also, If you are driving to work, be cautious as visibility on the roads could be compromised. The NCMS has issued a warning of the same. The temperature currently is 35°C and will hover around 49 to 50°C during the day in UAE but it could feel like 56°C. So, cover yourself before stepping out. source :http://www.khaleejtimes.com/nation/umm-al-quwain/7-cars-burst-into-flames-in-scorching-uae-heat

torres89: Morning, you quite 100% right but I do believe "personally" based on hands-on experience with a world reputable brand that manufacturers don't always factor all conditions into there design. A hardware that is being majorly used all over the world and has stood the test of any condition was being deployed to Nigeria and unfortunately had high temperature issue. The engineers doubted and visited Nigeria for a test on over 500 units of it but no soft or hardware faults were found and that issue was internally classified within the company has a design fault. Design could always have flaws which could be slightly altered. 1 Like |

airsaylongcon: Not at all, you can't imagine a multinational powering up a machine directly to the socket. It's UPS is a world renowned provider also, so power source was not a cause. It was simply an environmental design flaw. Modifications were done and performance went well henceforth |
