According to ETtoday News Cloud, Miaoli County Fire Department received a report this morning that a fire broke out in the factory of Dayang Plastic Company in Zhongxing Industrial Zone. When firefighters arrived at the scene, the first factory area of the factory had fallen into a sea of fire and was burning in full swing. The violent smoke continued to rise, which was clearly visible for several kilometers away, which showed how big the fire was.
Zheng Shengfeng, captain of the First Brigade of Miaoli County Fire Department, said that in the preliminary investigation, no one was trapped in the fire site, but because many flammable items were stored in the factory, including 27,000 liters of toluene, 20,000 liters of kerosene, and 12,700 liters of ethyl acetate, the fire spread very quickly and it is difficult to extinguish it in a short period of time. Only measures can be taken to prevent the fire from spreading to the optoelectronic plants and other factories next door. Zheng Shengfeng estimated that the fire would probably be completely extinguished until dark.
reported that in addition to toluene and kerosene in the factory, ethyl acetate is also extremely flammable. It is understood that Dayang Plastics Company mainly produces double-sided tape, packaging tape, insulating tape, etc. The detailed causes and losses of this fire need to be investigated further.
