Among many casualties that happen in India every Diwali, here’s an incident of a Hyundai Grand i10 catching fire while it was carrying some firecrackers and it can be seen rolling down the street, all ablaze.
Every year, in India, the festive season of Diwali sees numerous cases of fire being reported all around in the country. Bursting of firecrackers is something that greatly entices Indians but it obviously comes with its own hazards. Here we have an incident of a car carrying firecrackers bursting into flames in the middle of street in Rajkot, Gujarat. This video of the car engulfed in flames has gone viral across several social media platforms. Let’s look at what really happened here. The car in question seems to be a Hyundai Grand i10.
In this video, we can see the car rolling down the street engulfed in flames and smoke. The firecrakers are continuing to burst inside the car, almost continuously, as can be seen and heard in the video. Unconfirmed reports claim that there were four passengers inside the car including the driver. Although three of them managed to escape the incident unharmed, one of them sustained some injuries. Check out the video in the link below.

The car can be seen rolling down the street ablaze as the driver must have left the car engaged in drive while trying to exit the car in an emergency. Although the exact cause of the fire is not known, it could be several reasons in reality. There could either be an electrical short circuit in the electrical components of the car or the firecrackers may have been set ablaze due to static friction.

Whatever may have been the reason, the situation could have been much more worse for the passengers inside the car and even for innocent bystanders on the road. The Diwali season particularly sees a huge uptick in fire related incidents every year. This year itself, the Delhi Fire Services were reported with as many as 206 incidents, four of them being really major ones, and one even claiming a life in Mundka.

Banning of firecrackers is perhaps the right way to go forward. With rising levels of pollution all around the country and such fatalities still continuing to be a common occurrence, we can ensure a safer and happier Diwali even without the firecrackers. Even if you are bursting firecrackers, we advice you to be cautious with them and particularly be careful how you are handling them. Safety should always be the ultimate priority.
