22/08/2013
The section of the factory, owned by Taiwanese shoe company Pou Yuen, was “almost burned to ashes,” according to local reports, although no casualties were reported.
The fire started on the fourth floor and was fuelled by flammable products such as styrofoam, rubber and chemicals.
A labour union chairman said the company will try to make sure to keep all of its more than 82,500 workers employed despite the incident and police are investigating the causes.
