The Shoe Material Manufacturer Burst Into A Fire And Ignited The Sulfur Warehouse Next Door,

Black smoke rose up and poisonous gas filled the air! At 3:00 p.m. on the 25th, a fire broke out in Gaobu Village Honglin Shoes Material Factory in the direction of Zengcheng, Taiping, National Highway 105. The raw materials for shoes in the factory building caught fire and ignited the sulfur warehouse next door. Toxic gas was generated after sulfur combustion.

On the way to the shoe material factory, I saw black smoke from afar. After arriving at the scene, I smelled a pungent smell. It is understood that the cause of the accident was that the shoe materials in the plant caught fire and ignited the sulfur warehouse next door. Firefighters then rushed to put out the fire, evacuating factory workers while erecting water guns to spray water into the warehouse. However, because the sulfur dioxide generated after sulfur combustion is not only irritating and toxic, but also corrosive sulfite will be generated after sulfur dioxide is dissolved in water, so some firefighters feel pain because their hands are stained with sulfite when putting out a fire, and some firefighters cough and feel dizzy because of breathing toxic gas.

After more than an hour of fighting, the fire was finally under control. As the sulfur storage warehouse is an open warehouse, the factory is worried that the sulfur will be flushed into the reservoir after rain, so it decided to transfer the sulfur.
