A security guard's swift action saved the neighbourhood from a scooter blaze in southern China.

The CCTV footage was filmed in the city of Haikou in Hainan Province on November 11.

When the security guard named Wang Qianchun was patrolling on his electric scooter in a garage, he noticed a smoking scooter at the parking area. Without hesitation, he swiftly approached the smoking scooter, unplugged it, and began to drag it away. The smoke intensified, prompting Wang to pull the bike further away from the others.

As he maneuvered the flaming scooter to an open area, the situation escalated with visible flames. In a bold move to prevent a potential explosion and protect surrounding vehicles, Wang courageously grabbed the burning scooter’s front end and dragged it several metres away. He then accessed nearby fire extinguishers, successfully gaining control over the situation.

The 41-year-old guard recounted, "I was on night patrol duty, and suddenly I smelled something burning as I rode towards the underground parking. I found this scooter and, considering the risk of an explosion with so many vehicles nearby, I didn't hesitate to pull it away."

Despite sustaining minor finger injuries during the intense rescue, Wang applied his learned firefighting skills using multiple extinguishers and even brought in a water hose to completely extinguish the flames.

Wang Qianchun's prompt and courageous response lasted more than 10 minutes, preventing further damage. Residents of the community praised his heroic actions, acknowledging the risks he took to safeguard the neighbourhood from a potential disaster.

11月11日凌晨5点半，海南海口，锦地翰城二期小区B区地下室的一处电动车停放点，有一辆电动车突然起火，幸好巡逻到此处的保安王千春及时发现，妥善处置。而王千春面对火灾时，“教科书式”的灭火过程，也被公共视频记录了下来。

公共视频显示，11号凌晨5点37分，保安王千春骑着电动车巡逻至B区地下室的一处电动车停放点，观察20秒左右，就往一辆冒着烟的电动车走去，刚一拔掉充电线，这辆电动车冒烟越来越大，他就赶紧将电动车拖拽出来。此时该电动车冒出的烟逐渐增多，王千春当机立断，迅速把该车从车群中拉了出来。刚拉到两排电动车的过道上，这辆电动车冒出的白烟突然明显增多，随即窜出很高的火苗来。危急时刻，为了避免火势殃及周边电动车，引发更大的火灾，王千春徒手抓着正着火的电动车车头，将车辆拖到几米外的空地处，随后找到周边配备的灭火器，控制火情。
41岁的王千春说，“当天晚上我值夜班巡逻岗，当时骑车前往地下室巡逻，突然闻到了一股烧焦的味道，我停下车找到了这辆电动车。”考虑到这里这么多车停在一起，万一爆炸起来就麻烦了。”他担心殃及旁车，没多想便徒手去拉，好在车头的位置还没烧到，拉的过程中用力过度手指有些扭伤，没有大碍。王千春按照日常学习的灭火技能，用上了四五个灭火器进行灭火，后来还拉来水管对电动车继续喷水灭火，火情得以处置完毕。整个过程持续了10多分钟，未造成其他损失。
王千春介绍，这个是他们本职工作，平常公司也都有培训，看到火灾肯定也要不惜一切去救。　
小区居民在得知这一情况后，纷纷为王千春的英勇点赞。
