Shoe Factories Dump Sewage And Cause Explosion

Yesterday around 4 p.m., a sudden explosion occurred outside a shoe factory on the bottom of the south coast.

The whole building was trembling at the moment of explosion.

Reporters at the scene saw that the accident building was located on the road side of * Tu Shan Road. It was the dormitory of the original bristle factory. There were six floors in the building, and now there are 3 shoe factories.

Mr. Lu, who was working on the first floor of Yu man's shoe factory, was still worried.

Mr. Lu said that at about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, he was suddenly hearing a loud noise from the building outside the building, and then the whole building kept shaking and making a "click" sound.

"The building is going to collapse!" the workmates screamed in confusion, and rushed out of the building immediately.

Meanwhile, workers from two shoe factories upstairs ran out.

The grocery store owner across the building saw what had happened.

The boss said that the loud noise was caused by the explosion at the steps outside the building. When the explosion occurred, the ground was like a wave, and the huge impact knocked out the steps of about two square meters and 3 steps outside the building. The flames came up from the steps gap and rushed about 5 meters high.

After the explosion, there was a smell of scorching air in the air.

Fortunately, after the accident, a total of about 300 workers in the 3 shoe factories of the building were safely evacuated without causing casualties.

The fire burned to the 6 floor along the sewer.

The reporter noticed that after the steps were turned over, the concrete blocks were washed out two or three meters away, and a sewer at a diameter of about 20 centimeters was left at the step gap.

Witnesses said that the flames burst out of the sewer, and the explosion at the time also caused the collapse of a small public toilet sewer behind the building.

It is understood that after the incident, the new street and the marble stone fire squadron rushed to the scene immediately, and scouring and diluting the sewers and public toilets.

The marble squadron fire squadron fighters, who participated in the risk control, told reporters that during the search and rescue operation from the 1 floor to the 6 floor, they found that the impact of the explosion also caused a wall of the 2 building to collapse. At the same time, the fire continued along the toilet drain of the building and from the 1 floor to the 6 floor.

Some flames ignited cardboard stacked in toilets, but these flames were quickly extinguished.

When the fire fighters were surveyed from the 1 floor to the 6 floor, they found a strange thing: the 6 floor toilets were stacked with dozens of iron barrels, some of which were empty, and others contained banana water flavored liquid.

It was identified by the Safety Supervision Bureau and Environmental Protection Bureau of Nan'an District that these liquids are chemical wastes containing banana water.

Later, the fire fighters further investigated the toilet sewer on the 6 floor, and found that some chemical waste remained in the sewer. It was confirmed that the workers were dumping a lot of chemical waste containing banana water into the sewer, which eventually gathered in the septic tank on the 1 floor.

Reporters on the 6 floor of the building see that this is a shoe factory, the toilet is stacked in a large number of iron barrels, the liquid inside is black.

The staff of the Safety Supervision Bureau and the Environmental Protection Bureau of Nan'an District indicated that dumping chemical substances into the sewers is expressly prohibited.

Due to the illegal operation of the shoe factory, the owner of Longmen Hao street and bristle factory has decided to cancel the qualification of the shoe factory.

Impact: full closure of Tu Shan Road

After the incident, except for the two ends of the road at the junction of the road outside the building, no vehicles were allowed to pass. From the new street to the Tu Shan Road, the Nanbin road to the Tu Shan Road, the marble road to the Tu Shan Road and other junctions, all of them were all guarded by the patrolling police, and no vehicles were allowed to enter.

The public can only walk through, and under the direction of the patrol police, all vehicles will only bypass the Nanbin road.
