Unattended Mosquito Coil Sparks Packaging Plant Fire: Printing Press Destroyed, Worker Detained 15 Days
At 20:59 on June 25, 2021, the 119 command center of the Chizhou City Fire and Rescue Detachment in Anhui Province received a fire report.
The call concerned Chizhou Xinchuang Packaging Materials Co., Ltd.
The company is in Tongzishan Village, Meilong Subdistrict. Public security and fire investigators determined that the fire started when Chen used a mosquito coil improperly, igniting cartons inside the factory and allowing flames to spread.
The incident burned and destroyed the company's printing press and a number of semi-finished cartons.
Investigation visits, interviews and on-site inspection showed that the fire building was a single-story brick-concrete structure with a floor area of 180 sq m and a west-to-east orientation; the point of origin was the north-central part of the factory where the mosquito coil had been placed. According to Chen's statement, at 14:00 that day, with many mosquitoes in the plant, he lit a mosquito coil about 1 meter long, inserted it into a gap between cartons in the north-central area, and left at 17:00 without extinguishing it.
The fire affected 180 sq m and caused direct economic losses of RMB 17,900.
The fire department determined that Chen's negligent conduct had caused the blaze and transferred the case to public security authorities. In accordance with Article 64, Item (2) of the Fire Protection Law of the People's Republic of China,
the public security organ imposed a 15-day administrative detention penalty on Chen for suspected negligent causing of a fire.
