Fire Fighting In A Shoe Factory In Wenzhou Has To Wait Several Miles Away.

A fire broke out at a shoe factory in Wutian street, Ouhai yesterday morning.

Although the fire department dispatched 11 fire engines, the fire broke out for nearly 8 hours due to the lack of water around the fire site and the narrow access roads. It was not extinguished until 9:30 in the morning.

The fire burned more than 2000 square meters of factory buildings, but fortunately no casualties were caused.

The fire department quickly dispatched 3 fire engines to the scene.

In less than 20 minutes, the water from the 3 fire engines was exhausted.

The headache for firefighters is that there is not a fire hydrant around the fire site. Although there is a canal near the site, because of too much sludge, the mobile pump can not suck up the water.

At 2:30 Xu, another 8 fire engines came to support and took turns to carry water out of the river.

It is reported that except for water shortage, the road around the fire site is narrow, resulting in the fire trucks only taking water from a long distance.

At present, the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
