[Reporter Liu Xiaoxin/Changhua Report]A fire broke out late at night in Hemei Town, Changhua County. A 220-square-meter plastic recycling site on Fubei Road caught fire. The fire got out of control and spread to the 360-square-meter department store iron warehouse immediately behind. The smoke was so alarming that firefighting robots and 66 firefighters were deployed to rescue the scene. The fire was finally extinguished four hours later. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Wu Zheyou pointed out that because the fire scene was too large and there were two adjacent plastic factories behind the metal warehouse, in order to prevent the fire from expanding and continuing to burn, in addition to dispatching 32 fire trucks, 1 ambulance, and 66 firefighters In addition to people, a second-generation self-propelled remote-controlled turret truck costing NT$6.5 million, commonly known as a “firefighting robot,” was dispatched. The human-controlled robot entered the fire scene to put out the fire, and deployed multiple water lines into the resource recovery site and warehouse. After gaining control, strange hands will assist in excavation and continuous fire treatment.
Fire Chief Shi Shunren pointed out that two years ago, the private sector donated a “firefighting robot” with an asking price of 1.8 million yuan. Last year, the county government purchased a “firefighting robot” with more advanced functions. Together with the carrier vehicle, the price was 6.5 million yuan. It can directly drag a water hose into the fire scene. The water output per minute is 2900 liters, the range is up to 65 meters, and the wireless remote control distance is up to 200 meters. Because of its infrared thermal imaging function, it can also detect toxic gases. When there is a fire, there may be toxic gases, or the high temperature will cause The roof is in danger of collapsing, and “firefighting robots” can play a powerful role. This year, the central government has subsidized funds and will purchase 4 more “firefighting robots” so that each of the five fire brigades in the county will have one “firefighting robot.”
The fire was finally extinguished after 4 hours of full-scale rescue efforts. Since it started to rain heavily early this morning, the original strong smell of burning plastic that filled the air was diluted by the rain. The cause of the fire is still under investigation and clarification.
