A fire that tore through a shoe factory in eastern China on Thursday killed at least 28 people, state media said, with more than 500 fire and rescue personnel racing against time to extinguish the blaze.

Près de 200 pompiers et secouristes ont été mobilisés, jeudi 9 juillet, après un incendie dans une usine de chaussures à Jinjiang, en Chine.

Jinjiang, in the coastal Fujian province, is a major footwear and apparel manufacturing hub and is often referred to as China‘s “shoe capital.”
