The electric car fire...I hit a steel part that fell from the previous vehicle.

A fire broke out in an Ioniq 5 electric car running on the road in Omokcheon-dong, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do yesterday (2nd).

The fire department was dispatched to the scene after receiving a driver's report that smoke was coming from the lower battery of the vehicle, and 16 equipment, including a pump car, and 45 personnel were deployed to completely extinguish the fire in two and a half hours.

The driver evacuated himself and fortunately, there were no casualties.

Police are investigating the exact cause of the fire, believing that the iron weight that fell from the previous high-altitude ladder hit the battery part of the electric car.
