[China paint information] the day before yesterday, a fire broke out in a paint factory near Sunxing village, Weihui City, and more than 30 barrels of alcohol and several barrels of toluene stored in the factory fell into a sea of fire, "said Li Peisheng. Most alcohol barrels exploded and burned, and the roof of the whole plant collapsed

at 7:15 a.m. that day, Weihui fire brigade received the alarm and quickly dispatched 13 fire officers and soldiers and 3 fire engines to the scene to fight the fire. As a small amount of toluene stored in the warehouse was toxic and dangerous, fire officers and soldiers evacuated the factory workers and more than 100 villagers in time. At that time, the fire was very fierce, and more than 100 square meters of plant fell into a sea of fire. Due to the high temperature, the alcohol barrel swelled up and exploded one after another. According to on-site estimates, each barrel of alcohol weighs about 200 kg, which basically offsets the annual decline in domestic apparent consumption of steel. The stock of more than 30 barrels of alcohol is about 6 tons, and the task of fighting the fire is very arduous. On the one hand, the firefighters appealed to the detachment for help, and on the other hand, they transferred several barrels of toluene from the fire and buried it with sand

at 8:40, 22 firefighters from the fire brigade of Hongqi District, Xinxiang City, and 4 water tanks and foam fire engines rushed to the scene for reinforcement. They immediately put into fire fighting. Plastic has become the core material of power cables, electronics and so on. After two and a half hours of fighting, the fire was finally completely extinguished
