Taiwan's Taichung City Fire Department was dispatched to Micron's Houli plant in Taiwan yesterday, as there was a fire due to a leak in the high-pressure gas cylinder in the supply room. Investigations are underway, but there are no injuries or casualties reported.
According to the reports from the Taichung City Fire Bureau, dozens of firefighters were dispatched to the Micron plant which had its emergency response team working onsite. The workers were immediately evacuated. The site's automatic fire extinguishing system helped to put out the fire, and the leak was reportedly contained quickly. Reports indicate that around two square meters of space was burned as a result. Additional investigation is still underway to find the cause of the high-pressure gas leak.
