People nearby reported hearing a loud noise before electricity went out. No injuries or deaths were reported and the fire was quickly extinguished.

The man who set the fire, Chen Dengxiao, in his 50s, died in the fire, as did another worker, Liu Songwei. After fighting with a worker named Zhang Yongqing, Chen set Zhang on fire.
