FIREFIGHTERS put out a blaze in a chemical storage facility in east China's Jiangsu Province on Saturday morning, 16 hours after it started.

The fire, which began around 9:40am on Friday in Jingjiang City, was put out at 1:50am on Saturday after firefighters from nearby cities Shanghai, Nanjing, Nantong, Suzhou and Wuxi were mobilized to help.

With chemical storage tanks destroyed and their contents spreading over a wide area, firefighters had difficulty approaching for a while.

They curbed the blaze after the valve of an oil pipeline was shut off. No casualties have been reported.
