A blazing fire has killed 38 people at a company dealing in chemicals and other industrial goods in central China’s Henan province.
Two other people were injured, the local government in part of Anyang city said in a statement Tuesday.
The fire was reported about 4:30 p.m. Monday and took firefighters about 3 1/2 hours to bring under control, the Wenfang district government said.
Video footage on state broadcaster CCTV showed flames and smoke billowing out of what appeared to be a two-story building that was engulfed by fire. In nighttime shots, firefighters examined the scarred, skeletal remains of the structure with an extension ladder and lights.
