“A company employee reported that the area was usually unoccupied. Initially, the smell of burning rubber was noticed, but it did not raise concern until the flames were visible. Despite efforts by the factory staff to extinguish the fire, it spread quickly. The preliminary investigation suggests that accumulated heat might have caused the incident.

 

Officials conducted an initial inspection at the scene along with company representatives. The fire is presumed to have been caused by heat accumulation. A thorough investigation will be carried out to determine the exact cause of the fire.”
