A major fire broke out at Foxconn’s plant in Shenzhen. Eyewitnesses not only observed the fire but also heard the explosions. It is noteworthy that it is at this plant that smartphones are produced by order of Apple.
Although the images of Building C11 indicate a fairly large fire, and many fire brigades were drawn to the scene, Foxconn was quick to issue a statement that the fire was quickly eliminated and its cause is now being investigated. The company claims that neither people nor production was injured as a result of the incident.
It is reported that Shenzhen Guanlan Foxconn is a critical manufacturing base for the release of Apple iPhones from the very first model to the new iPhone 12, produced at this factory for customers around the world.
The enterprise is essential for the economic prosperity of the local community. The plant employs over 100,000 people. In addition, its opening contributed to the development of the economy and infrastructure of the local microregion.
