At around 1:30 pm this afternoon, a major fire broke out at a scrap recycling plant. At the time of the fire, many workers were working at the plant and were trapped inside.

Authorities have deployed many high-pressure water jets to the fire. However, because the factory contains many flammable materials such as plastic, fabric, wood, etc., the firefighting is facing many difficulties.

The factory area where the fire broke out

The factory fire area is located in the middle of a field, far from residential areas; there is a plywood factory nearby. Currently, the authorities have moved flammable objects to a safe place to prevent the fire from spreading.

The factory burned down, covering thousands of square meters, was built with an iron frame and a corrugated iron roof. Many areas were destroyed by the fire.
