Potash warehouse fire fire hydrant actually

At 6 o'clock in the afternoon on August 8, a warehouse fired by potash fertilizers was built at the Lanzhou Material Supply Station at Jianxi West Road. Two fire squadrons rushed to the scene to extinguish the fire. After more than three hours of fighting, the warehouse fire was finally extinguished.

Witnessing the public said that at 6 pm on the same day, a cross fire at West Railway Station will show a fire in the direction of West Jianxi Road, and the black smoke on the sky will cover the sky. There was a fire on the No. 54 warehouse in the factory area. In addition to potash fertilizer, there were a few other chemical materials. After receiving the alarm, the Gongjiawan Fire Squadron rushed to the scene to save the fire. During the rescue process, it was found that the water point in the fire-fighting area of ​​the factory did not even have water. The fire brigades requested reinforcements and the Qilihe fire squadron rushed to the scene to reinforce. Due to the large fire on site, the fire mobilized an 18-ton high-sprayer to extinguish the foam. After more than one hour of fighting, the building’s fire started to catch fire, but the fire in the warehouse was still not extinguished. As a result of the toxic gas generated after combustion, fire officers and soldiers were on the spot with an air breathing apparatus. Because of the lack of water, the fire truck went to the outside of the factory to collect water. At 8 o'clock in the evening, a bulldozer was transferred to the scene and the driver wore air respirator into the warehouse to extinguish the fire with buried soil. However, due to the high temperature inside, the bulldozer's tires were roasted. Informed sources said that when the fire broke out, explosions continued in the warehouse, and there was a lot of yellow smoke and pungent odors.

It is understood that the location of the fire is on the east side of the plant. There are six fire engines that have been put into the factory to extinguish the fire. The burning warehouse was a private owner renting a warehouse and storing potash. Finally, after more than three hours of fighting, the warehouse fire was extinguished. Although the fire was very big during the fire, if there were water sources in the factory area, the fire brigade would quickly extinguish the fire. However, the fire hydrant is not buried in the ground, there is no water at all, and the fire extinguishing progress is delayed. During an interview with the reporter, the reporter was repeatedly blocked by the security of the factory. The security guard even insulted TV reporters. (China Labor Insurance Network)
