Firomen made heroic efforts to reach the imprisoned men, and ultimately succeeded in rescuing fifteen of them, many of them bad- ly burned, however.
The manager of the factory Mr. Chang Ching-chu, a well- known business man in Shanghai, is among the dead."
The fire occurred following the explosion of a boiler in the Tayi Cereal Factory. Immediately after the blast, the building took fire. Many of the workers were trapped, though some of them reached safety immediately after the bursting of the boiler and be-; fore the fire took hold.
