Pupils accidentally ignited four cars with a weed fire in a parking lot in southern China.

The video was filmed in the city of Dongguan in Guangdong Province on November 13.

Three pupils lit a pile of dry grass under an SUV. Then the parking lot's dry grass quickly fueled the flames, causing a rapid spread that engulfed four vehicles.

Initially, the three children attempted to extinguish the blaze but were overwhelmed by the intensity of the fire. Frightened, they fled the scene.

Moments later, a passerby noticed the inferno and alerted emergency services. Numerous locals rushed to assist, armed with fire extinguishers, but their efforts were in vain for the first white SUV, which was rapidly consumed by the flames and rendered almost beyond repair.
The adjacent three cars also suffered varying degrees of damage.

The incident is currently under thorough investigation.

11月13日晚，广东东莞，三名小学生在停车场玩耍，在一辆白色越野车的车头下点燃了一堆杂草，由于停车场地面有不少干枯的草，导致火势迅速蔓延，四辆车接连被引燃。起初3名学生试图灭火，但由于火势太大他们害怕于是“逃离”现场，几分钟后一名男子路过发现火情才打119报警。不少路人街坊也拿来灭火器，但第一辆白色越野车很快被大火吞噬基本报废，旁边三辆车不同程度受损。 目前，事件还在进一步调查处理中。
