【火事】鉄鋼建材メーカーの工場 延焼中 鋳造機から鉄40トンが流出 ケガ人や逃げ遅れなし 東京・足立区
Fire engines crowded outside Chiyoda Steel's factory in Tokyo's Adachi ward after an emergency call shortly before 7 p.m. on November 9. Japan's Nippon Television News reported that 58 emergency vehicles were dispatched to the steel building materials plant.
Footage shows firefighters gathering outside and industrial equipment inside the building. The report says 40 tons of iron spilled from a casting machine, spreading over seven to eight meters. It does not establish what caused the fire or the spill.
The factory was still burning when the bulletin aired that evening; that description concerns the November 9 response, rather than the site's condition today. According to the report, every employee evacuated safely, with no injuries and no one left trapped inside.
