Incident: Closed windows while burning charcoal for warmth

Mr. Li (a pseudonym) reported yesterday morning that at 7:20 AM, when he arrived at the warehouse of a comprehensive logistics enterprise group in the Yunpu Industrial Zone of Luogang District to start work, as usual, he shouted "open the door" to the attendant on duty in the security room. However, no one responded. Consequently, he walked to the window to see what was happening inside. "I couldn't tell if it was smoke or steam; I couldn't see anything inside." At this point, Mr. Li opened the large door of the security room and discovered that Mr. Han and Mr. Huang, who were on duty the previous night, had collapsed unconscious. Mr. Han's "lips were blackened," and Mr. Wang was "foaming at the mouth." "Mr. Wang was lying face down on the ground, and Mr. Han was slumped over Mr. Wang." There was still thick smoke in the security room, "and there was an iron bucket with a fire still burning inside."
