Zhejiang Wuyi Major Fire Accident Investigation Report Released: 20 Public Officials Punished Zhejiang Wuyi Wei Jiali Industry and Trade Co., Ltd. | Fire Accident | Investigation Report
On July 30th, the official website of the Zhejiang Provincial Emergency Management Department released an investigation report on the "4.17" major fire accident of Zhejiang Wuyi Weijiali Industry and Trade Co., Ltd., which determined that the accident was a major production safety responsibility accident caused by the illegal welding construction that ignited and illegally stored wire drawing and modulated paint, and quickly spread. The owner illegally built and changed the nature of the factory, resulting in safety conditions such as evacuation stairs and automatic fire protection facilities not meeting the standards, and the enterprise did not conduct emergency rescue drills, resulting in the death of personnel. Currently, 9 people have been subjected to criminal coercive measures by judicial authorities. 20 public officials were disciplined.
At about 14: 1 on April 17, a major fire accident occurred in Zhejiang Weijiali Industry and Trade Co., Ltd., located at 68 Qingyun Road, Quanxi Town, Wuyi County, Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, resulting in 11 deaths and an area of about 9000 square meters. The direct economic loss was 28.065 million yuan.
After investigation, the cause of the accident fire was that the high-temperature welding slag generated by the welding workers employed by Jiafeng Company in the first and second floors of the leased accident 1# factory building fell to the first floor, igniting the wire drawing mixed paint used beside the wire drawing paint spraying table and causing a fire.
One of the main reasons for the rapid spread of the fire is that the fire substance burns violently. After the fire, it successively ignited the used 6 barrels of wire drawing mixed paint, combustible glass fiber tiles and more than 0.9 tons of barreled wire drawing diluent and paint stored in the wire drawing diluent warehouse. After the fire, it burns violently, producing a large amount of toxic and harmful smoke such as carbon monoxide and formaldehyde. Second, the "chimney effect" has fast smoke diffusion. The fire on the first floor is connected with the production line on the second floor, forming a vertical three-dimensional space with a height of 15 meters. The two freight elevators on the north and south sides of the factory building are not equipped with elevator landing doors and solid wall elevator enclosure structures. Evacuation stairs on both sides of the north and south are not closed. After a fire broke out on the first floor, high-temperature toxic fumes spread rapidly to the second and third floors directly through the production line connection, elevator shafts and evacuation stairs.
The main causes of death include the violent combustion of wire drawing diluents and paint, which produce toxic and harmful thick smoke. The first and second floors of the fire area are connected, and the goods elevator and evacuation stairs are not closed, forming a "chimney effect". A large amount of smoke spreads rapidly from the connection of the production line, elevator shaft, and evacuation stairs to the second and third floors. It is difficult for employees on the third floor to escape through the evacuation stairs.
