Three technicians were in the middle of transferring fireworks from two storage buildings to a pickup truck when a series of three explosions occurred at a fireworks factory. The three technicians were killed and the two buildings were destroyed. Alarmed by the explosions, local residents contacted the firefighters. Despite the danger, the operator of the factory did not evacuate its employees. Forty minutes later, a third fireworks storage building exploded, killing a fourth person. This explosion was triggered by burning debris that had been sent flying by the first explosions. Due to the narrow lanes at the site, the firefighters encountered difficulties in responding to the accident. The fires that broke out in the site’s green spaces were brought under control. The last flames were extinguished nine hours later.
