Fire Reported at Carrefour Logistics Center 桃園家樂福物流中心大火 廠房陷入火海

A fire was reported at Carrefour's logistics center in Taoyuan on March 14. Firefighters got the fire under control around 9 a.m. and no one was hurt.

Carrefour's logistics center on Taoyuan's Meishi Road caught on fire early on the morning of the 14th. Fortunately, firefighters were able to put out the fire and no one was trapped or injured.

Liu Kuo-jung, Deputy Chief, Second Corps, Fire Department, Taoyuan City: “The area was very large in size, around 15,000 square meters. After we got the call, we sent several water trucks. We got the fire under control around 9 a.m. ”

When firefighters arrived on the scene, the two-story building was on fire. Experts believe the fire started on the first floor, but don't know how it started yet. Losses have not yet been estimated. This was the third plant fire in Taoyuan in less than a week. Taoyuan City Mayor Cheng Wen-tsan says the city will inspect all logistics and warehousing operations.

Cheng Wen-tsan, Taoyuan City Mayor: “We will be inspecting fire prevention design and evacuation preparations. I will be asking fire stations around the city to inspect warehouses.”

A fire broke out at Everlight Chemical's plant in Guanyin on March 10, followed by a fire at a Mayfull warehouse in Luzhu. The latter is still on fire on the fourth day. Cheng visited the site and said there need to be better prevention measures in place at warehouses due to their size and stored items and he will assign a task force to oversee inspections and fire drills.

廠房內熊熊大火，還有濃煙不斷竄天，桃園市楊梅區梅獅路的家樂福物流中心14日上午發生工廠大火，廠房全部陷入火海，警消獲報後趕赴現場灌救，幸好現場無人受困受傷。

桃市消防局第二大隊副大隊長劉闊融指出:「現場面積非常大，大概有1萬5000多平方公尺，我們獲報之後，陸續加派了許多水車支援，目前現場的火勢在9點多已經控制住。」

消防局表示，到場後發現2層樓高鐵皮屋廠房全面燃燒，初判起火點在1樓，詳細起火原因、財物損失仍待進一步調查。然而不到一星期，桃園已經發生第3起工廠大火，市長鄭文燦指示，針對倉儲物流，做全方位安全體檢。

桃園市長鄭文燦表示:「包括防災的設計，救災的準備工作，我想我請各個大隊針對轄區的倉儲物流業進行清查。」

上周四桃園才發生觀音永光化工廠、蘆竹區美福倉儲大火，尤其美福倉儲已經悶燒第4天，還在殘火處理中，市長鄭文燦也到美福倉儲視察，表示倉儲業因為規模和體積比較大、加上物品多，防災規範要提高，會有一個專案小組來進行督導，進行各種檢查跟演練。
