A fire broke out in the warehouse of a lighting factory in Nanchang, causing losses of more than 7 million yuan

On the morning of the 27th, in Qiangang Village, Changdong Town, Nanchang High-tech Zone, Ms. Liu, a citizen, cried and her eyes were swollen when she saw that her family business, which she had worked hard for for more than 10 years, was burned to rubble by a fire in the blink of an eye. Ms. Liu said that the fire started in the warehouse on the first floor. Because there were many flammable items in the warehouse, the fire spread quickly. She could only watch as seven to eight million yuan worth of property in the warehouse was burned.

Scene: The factory caught fire, and the smoke stretched for hundreds of meters

On the morning of the 27th, the reporter saw billowing smoke rising into the sky in Qiangang Village five or six hundred meters away from the burning factory, stretching for hundreds of meters. The reporter saw that the factory on fire was called Xinhong Lighting Factory. The structure was relatively simple. In addition to the brick walls on both sides, it was mainly built with iron steel frames and iron sheds. It had about three floors. Due to the fire, some iron sheds have fallen off, and the lamps in the factory were basically burned to the point of use. Because the fire was so intense, several nearby residents' homes were also affected, and the window glass was cracked by the fire.

"At about 7:30 in the morning, I saw the factory building on fire. It didn't take long for the fire to burn the entire factory building. The open flames jumped more than 10 meters high, which was very scary." A nearby resident said.

Rescue: Firefighters spent more than 3 hours putting out the fire

Ms. Liu, the owner of the lighting factory, burst into tears as she looked at the scene in front of her. She told reporters that her family of three lived in the factory. On the morning of the 26th, she went out as usual to notify workers to come to the factory to do work. However, less than 20 minutes after she left, thick smoke billowed out of the warehouse on the first floor. "When I left, there was no one in the warehouse on the first floor. I don't know why there was a fire."

The fire was discovered. After that, Ms. Liu immediately rushed to the second floor to wake up her son who was still sleeping, and called the police. "There were several fire extinguishers in the factory, but they were all frightened at the time and did not get the fire extinguisher." Ms. Liu said that her family of three hurriedly got water to put out the fire. Unfortunately, the fire was too big, and the warehouse was filled with flammable items. The fire quickly engulfed the entire factory. While fighting the fire, Ms. Liu's hair was burned, and she was forcibly dragged out of the fire scene by her son.

After receiving the alarm, the Gaoxin Fire Fighting Squadron and the Changdong Fire Fighting Squadron rushed to the scene and found that the fire area of ​​the factory reached thousands of square meters. After more than three hours of hard work, the fire fighters extinguished the fire. The accident did not cause any casualties.

Factory owner: More than 7 million yuan in property was burned

“It’s all gone now. The family business that we worked hard for for more than 10 years was all burned in the blink of an eye.” Ms. Liu said sadly that they originally developed in Guangdong, but because the business was not booming, they moved back to their hometown of Nanchang. Most of what is stacked in the factory is some production equipment and finished lamps, worth about 7 million yuan. Because they had just moved to Nanchang not long ago, the factory did not buy insurance. "It can be said that we have nothing left and are completely bankrupt. But as long as everyone is fine, we can make a comeback." Ms. Liu said.
