When Huawei caught fire at the construction site, what was the situation at the scene?

On September 25, 2020, the fire brigade of Dongguan City, Guangdong Province received an alarm. A fire broke out at a construction site of Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., located in Alishan Road, Songshan Lake High-tech Zone, Dongguan, and smoke billowed from the site. After receiving the alarm, Dongguan Fire Rescue Team quickly organized firefighters to rush to the scene to put out the fire. At present, the fire has been controlled and the open flame has been extinguished. The follow-up treatment and investigation of this fire incident are still in progress. ?

According to the official WeChat news of Dongguan Fire Department, due to the timely evacuation of all construction workers on site, the open fire on site was quickly extinguished and the fire loss was small. According to the investigation, the fire area is about 850 square meters, and the fire building is a single-story steel frame structure, which has not been officially opened because it is being renovated. According to local authorities, the fire broke out in the building of a research and development laboratory under construction in Huawei, and the main burning substance was sound-absorbing cotton. Usually, this kind of material is an absorbing material, which is used in the research and development of acoustic products or communication RF related technologies.

Huawei Songshan Lake Base is the new headquarters of Huawei Terminal Company. According to relevant sources, the fire broke out in Huawei's Tuanbowa laboratory in Songshan Lake, which belongs to the materials laboratory, and the Tuanbowa experimental building that caught fire this time was mainly responsible for the research and development of new materials. At present, Huawei officials and relevant departments have not responded to the fire for the time being.

The fire was put out quickly and effectively, not only because there were few combustible materials in the fire site itself, but also because of the timely rescue of firefighters in China. At the same time, this fire incident also reminded everyone that we should pay attention to safety and caution when using fire and electricity in the future. Safety is more important than Mount Tai, especially the gathering of site personnel, which should be highly valued. Huawei in 2020 is a year full of difficulties and challenges, and the fire is ruthless. I hope Huawei will continue to forge ahead after these hardships.
