Ye Mingbo, head of the second brigade of the Changhua County Fire Department, pointed out that the fire was violent and the smoke was constantly rising to the side of the residents of Tiancuo. The fire was brought under control at around 3:30 and did not spread to the neighboring residences. A family of three, including the owner of the resource recovery site, also escaped in an emergency. Fortunately, no casualties were caused by the accident.

Ye Mingbo said that the burning area of ​​the fire was about 25 square meters. The burning area was all waste, and there was no loss of property. However, there were too many items piled up in the recycling yard, so we had to call in strange hands to dig up the smoldering area before the firefighters could irrigate it. , It was not until 8 o'clock in the morning that all the remaining fire was extinguished. The detailed cause of the fire is still to be clarified and investigated.

The scene of the fire was close to residential buildings, and it only relied on traffic arteries. Firefighters in Changhua County worked tirelessly to rescue them. They finally extinguished the remaining fire at 8:00 a.m. before going to work and the traffic was busy. Resting on a chair at the side, the scene of people's rescue was also posted on the Facebook of "The Second Brigade of Changhua County Fire Department". Many people were reluctant to see this, and left messages "Thanks for your hard work" and "Come on" to pay tribute to the firefighters.
