Some netizens photographed the scene. It can be seen that from the store, the group of people removed multiple boxes of glass bottles suspected of containing flammable liquids, and then carried them onto a fire truck carrying dangerous goods parked outside the store.
Detect more than 20 cans of swill, turpentine and electric oil for testing
The hardware store staff member said that last night firefighters came to seize about 20 cans of water, washing water, turpentine, and electric oil for testing. The staff pointed out that the hardware shop had been selling tincture and turpentine for many years. For the first time, firefighters inspected and seized goods for inspection. He suspected that it was related to the recent frequent demonstrations, but he did not think that the business was particularly popular and that the main customers were decoration masters.
