Flight attendants on a China Southern airplane were forced to move quickly after a fire broke out in the overhead storage.

南方航空航班，行李架上着火，空乘人员反应迅速

A passenger and a flight attendant are seen throwing a bottle of water and another container of juice onto a bag in the overhead luggage.

乘客和空乘人员，把一瓶水和一瓶果汁泼向行李架上着火的袋子。

Smoke is seen filling the cabin after a power bank caught fire. It continues to rage on but after a couple of attempts they eventually manage to put out the flames.

The fire was put out with the help of fire and security departments and did not cause further damage to the plane.

Passengers were delayed for nearly three hours after the flight from Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport departed at 2.53pm China time on a replacement plane, according to live flight tracking site FlightAware.

The passenger whose bag caught alight as people were boarding flight CZ3539 was taken in by police questioning. It is not believed the power bank was in use at the time of the incident.

Strange that the stewardess didn't use a fire extinguisher!

好奇怪，乘务员居然没有用灭火器

It is a well known fact that lithium-ion batteries can catch fire if damaged, which is why they are banned from hold luggage where a fire would not be seen. It's scary that they are allowed in the cabin; maybe they should be banned and then you would need battery banks at airports where you would deposit your battery at check in and pick up a replacement at the other end.

众所周知，锂离子电池要是损坏会着火的。。

只要是禁火场所，行李就不让装锂电池。

他们居然让带入机舱。

机舱应该禁止锂离子电池带入，安检处可以提供充电设施

Nothing can put out a lithium battery fire. It just has to burn out. All a fire extinguisher can do is keep the fire from spreading.

锂离子电池着火的话，用什么都扑灭不了，只能等待期燃尽。

灭火器只能阻止火势蔓延。

No fire extinguisher!? This is scary, one of the reasons your told to take any batteries in your hand luggage and not into the cargo hold is so they can be extinguished if there is a fire, but looks like some cabin crew need to be trained better and know where the extinguishers are on the plane.

机舱内居然没有灭火器，吓人！

电池可以携带，但是不能托运的一个原因是，一旦着火可以及时扑灭。

从此事来看，一些机组人员应当加强培训了，至少要知道飞机内哪里有灭火器
