Shenzhen, China -- The fire at a plastics recycling plant on 27 Feb in Shenzhen which killed at least 15 people and injured three, started amid waste materials and quickly spread to other parts of a multi-storey industrial building, local media reported.
The 15 dead were employees of LongFei Recycling Co. Ltd, where the fire apparently started, and two other nearby recycling operations, according to Hong Kong's South China Morning Post. The youngest victim was 14, said a local paper.
Fire officials said the fire started around 4 a.m. on the first floor of LongFei, a foam recycling company. It took 77 firefighters and 19 trucks three hours to extinguish the blaze, which covered more than 16 000 [ft.sup.2] (1500 [m.sup.2]).
