Two days ago in the afternoon, a sudden fire broke out at a metal can scrap station by the roadside near Dayingzhuang Village, Haikou Town, Kunming. It was then followed by an explosion. A worker was burnt and was sent to YunGuang Hospital of Haikou Town for treatment. Due to his serious condition, he was transferred to Kunming for treatment. Yesterday, a reporter learned from the Burns Department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical College that after all-out rescue efforts, the injured worker is no longer in danger of losing his life.
Yesterday, at the Burns Department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical College, I saw Xu Jiaxiang, the worker who had been burnt. His hands and legs were wrapped with bandages as he quietly lay on the hospital bed receiving treatment.
According to Ms. Zhou of the scrap station, the abandoned insecticide cans were collected from a local factory. At that time, Xu Jiaxiang was sorting out these abandoned insecticide cans when an unexpected explosion occurred.
According to the doctor, both legs, both palms, forehead and face of Xu Jiaxiang were burnt. The total burn area of his body reached around 30%. (Reported by Wang Jinsong)(ChunCheng Evening News)
