According to an interview with the police, four female employees had collapsed in front of the fire door leading to the entrance in a fire that killed five people in a fire that broke out from the factory of the confectionery maker "Sanko Confectionery" in Murakami City, Niigata Prefecture. I understand.


Police are investigating the situation in detail, suspecting that they could not find the door for the diversion and were late to escape while the smoke was full.

On the night of the 11th of this month, there was a fire that burned down the south building at the Arakawa Factory of "Sanko Confectionery" in Murakami City, Niigata Prefecture. Died, and one was found dead in the burnt remains.



Two male employees in their twenties who were at the scene have not been contacted yet, and the police are proceeding with confirmation as one of them, and will continue the search for 14 days.



According to the company, four female employees who died are believed to have been involved in a fire during the cleaning work of the production line, but according to a subsequent investigation, four of them collapsed in front of the fire door leading to the entrance. I learned from an interview with the police.



The fire door was closed, but there is a diversion door nearby.



Employees at the scene said they had a power outage after the fire broke out, and police suspected that they couldn't find the door for the diversion and were late to escape as the lights went out and the smoke was full. I am investigating the detailed situation.
