Fire on a leaked petrochemical device has been put under control with no casualties reported in Dalian, a coastal city in northeast China's Liaoning province, company sources said Saturday evening.
The fire was triggered off by leak in a distillation device at the Dalian Petrochemical Company of PetroChina, a leading onshore oil producer of the nation, at around 2:25 p.m. Saturday.
But experts said the fire would continue for a certain period of time as the device still had about 100 metric tons of inflammable matter.
There is no explosive factor surrounding the device on fire, according to company sources.
