Jianye Building Fire in Guangzhou China

Jianye Building Fire in Guangzhou China

December 15, 2013 A fire broke out in the unfinished high-rise Jianye Building in Guangzhou, China.

Construction of the building started in 1995, but was suspended in 1998. It has been used as a warehouse ever since, mostly for leather and shoes, one person working in the building told the Southern Metropolis Daily. In September, four people were killed and at least 36 injured in explosions that caused a major fire in a Guangzhou warehouse. Last Wednesday, 16 people were killed and at least five injured in a fire at a market in Shenzhen.

An unfinished high-rise in central Guangzhou was ablaze for 11 hours before firefighters finally gained control. No deaths were reported, but 20 people were evacuated from the 25-story Jianye Mansion. Construction of the building started in 1995, but was suspended in 1998, and has reportedly been used as a warehouse for storing leather, shoes and wooden boards ever since.

About 380 firefighters and 58 engines battled the blaze, which began around 7 p.m. local time.
