Firefighters subsequently mobilized personnel and equipment, including firefighting robots, to the scene to control the blaze. However, due to the presence of many flammable materials such as wood, plastic, and sawdust inside, extinguishing the fire proved difficult.

Firefighters had to split into multiple approaches, spraying water around the burning factory to prevent it from spreading to surrounding workshops, while simultaneously penetrating deep into the burning factory.
