I read no casualties, hopefully nobody is injured.

No one died. The people found the fire in time and evacuated in time. But when the fire truck arrived, it was unable to stop the fire from spreading.

Changsha and Zhuzhou are neighbors. This building is only an hour's drive from my home.

Very glad to hear that . This is the sort of timely discovery, evacuation and response you can be truly proud of

This building is not particularly high, 218 meters, a total of 44 floors. But I agree that we should limit the number of high-rise buildings.

Did the firefighters use rockets to suppress fire in this case? Or was it another fire?

The fire originated from a circuit on the outer wall of the building, so it was soon discovered.

The fire brigade arrived at the scene in 12 minutes. However, because the floors are too high, it is still impossible to prevent the fire from spreading to the whole building.

The official microblog of Changsha Fire Brigade has been summarizing and reviewing the lessons of the fire. They are going to buy helicopters and drones, and they will also equip special missiles for fire fighting. In the future, they should be able to carry out high-level fire fighting.

At first look, it seem very serious fire.

But according to people in social media, the fire start outside the building wall, and it is burning the outside wall because the outer layer of insulation material were ignited.
