With the rapid development of China's economy and e-commerce, the rapid development of China's logistics industry has promoted the phenomenon of material stacking at will in logistics warehouses, the quantity of materials stacked in warehouses is large, the density is large, and there are many types of combustible materials, and the fire risk is large.

A case of fire in a logistics warehouse

Case 1

A huge column of smoke billowed into the sky at a logistics warehouse on Meifeng Road in Huangdao district of Qingdao, Shandong province, at around 5 PM on July 14.
