According to CCTV news and Siam media, at about 18:00 local time on December 26, a fire broke out in a waste paper recycling plant in chunburi Prefecture, Thailand, injuring nine people. The local fire department used more than 10 fire engines and still failed to fully control the fire after several hours of fighting. It is estimated that it will take one to two days to put out the fire completely.
The owner of the factory is a Chinese. The fire at the scene was very fierce and spread very fast.
According to the statement of the staff at the scene of the incident, the cause of the fire was the explosion due to the short circuit of the distribution box. The 50 factory employees who were working were evacuated urgently, and 9 people were injured. At that time, 3000 tons of recycled waste paper that had been packaged was stacked in the plant, ready to be transported abroad the next day. The explosion of the distribution box ignited the pile of paper and the fire spread rapidly. The steel structure workshop collapsed under high temperature and pressed on the burning paper pile, which had a great impact on the fire extinguishing work. In addition, there is only one access to the factory, resulting in the slow progress of fire fighting work.
It is reported that another paper mill under the factory had a fire on November 25, with a distance of about 1 km between the two factories.
Xiaobian also reminds all bosses again that winter is a high incidence period of fire. It is dry and dry. Do a good job in self fire fighting and improve fire prevention awareness!
