On the night of the 21st, fire extinguishing equipment malfunctioned in a building in Sapporo, and a large amount of fire extinguishing agent was blown out. The whole area was covered with white powder, and it was temporarily noisy.

At around 10:20 pm on the 21st, the police reported to the police from the person who passed by "You can see smoke" at JA Tsukikan Chuo Building in Toyohira-ku, Sapporo.

When the police and fire department investigated, it was found that a large amount of powder fire extinguisher was blown out from the fire extinguishing equipment in the multilevel parking lot in the building, not a fire. Due to this influence, the whole area was covered with white powder and temporarily became noisy.

According to the police, the fire extinguishing equipment malfunctioned because the wiring was accidentally cut during the construction work in the parking lot.

In addition, according to firefighting, extinguishing agent is a fine particulate matter, and if it is inhaled in large quantities, there is a risk of affecting the respiratory organs. The value of the guideline that calls attention to refraining from intense exercise for a long time has been greatly exceeded, but it does not have a big impact at the moment.
