A fire broke out at Jiajing Electronics Factory in Hsinchu Science Park this morning (28th). A large amount of black smoke shot straight into the sky, accompanied by a pungent odor. Surrounding roads and the Baoshan Township Office area were affected. After receiving the report, the Hsinchu County Fire Department dispatched firefighters and vehicles to rescue the fire. They used indoor water lines, drone aerial surveys and ladder trucks to spray water from the outside. After about 3 hours, the fire was extinguished at about 11:30 in the morning. Fortunately, no one was injured or trapped. Property damage was about 130 million yuan. The detailed cause of the fire is still under investigation.
The fire department pointed out that the fire broke out at 8:19 a.m. When firefighters arrived, they found fires on the second and third floors of the building. They immediately deployed two water lines into the room to search for the location of the fire on the second floor and put out the fire. Regarding the fire on the third floor, the volunteer firefighting drone team operated drones to conduct aerial surveys to understand the burning range and on-site conditions. Two ladder trucks were dispatched to lift the fire and spray water from the broken windows on the outside of the building to suppress the fire. Firefighters then entered the room to deal with the residual fire to prevent the fire from continuing to spread.
After preliminary understanding, office supplies and factory machinery and equipment were mainly burned on the second and third floors of the site. The total burning area of the two floors was about 3,700 square meters. The actual property damage still needs further assessment. In this disaster relief, the Hsinchu County Fire Department dispatched 20 fire vehicles, 43 firefighters and 6 volunteers, and 10 drones were dispatched. In addition, the Hsinchu City Fire Department supported 4 fire trucks and 8 firefighters in the rescue.
After the fire broke out, a large amount of black smoke spread with the wind, and the surrounding roads, including No. 3 Road in the park, were filled with a pungent smell.

Baoshan Township Mayor Qiu Zhenwei also issued a warning through the social platform, reminding the public that the local air pollution is serious, and the strong smell of plastic glue may cause nausea and discomfort. He called on surrounding residents to close doors and windows tightly, avoid going out, and wear masks if necessary.
