Four workers at the factory became ill after heavy smoke from the fire. We know this from local sources. They were rescued and taken to a local hospital.
A few drums of fuel oil reportedly caught fire at the factory just before 11 a.m. Tuesday. From there the fire spread rapidly. That fire took on a terrible form next time. Firefighters and police arrived on the scene. Six fire engines are trying to put out the fire.
The factory had a stockpile of chemicals and oils. For this reason, it is believed that the fire quickly took a terrible form and spread to two nearby factories. The fire brigade said the fire started from a short circuit.
