9 arrested for fire that killed 12
Print Edition
NINE people have been arrested for a fire at a limestone mine in Gansu Province last month that killed 12 people, local authorities said yesterday.
The nine suspects include the deputy head of the mine and four members of the construction team, who were working in the mine when the fire broke out, according to the People’s Procuratorate of Sunan County in the city of Zhangye.
The procuratorate said the people in charge of the mine had failed to implement safety measures and had outsourced construction work to a team whose negligence had caused the fire.
Those responsible did not report the fire immediately and failed to take efficient response to the accident. The nine people were arrested on suspicion of major liability in an accident.
The fire occurred at the limestone mine in Zhangye City around 2pm on August 16, killing nine miners and three rescuers.
