in Kuala Kuang, Chemor. Firemen cordoned off the area as a safety precaution as the factory contained chemicals and flammable liquid.
They had to focus their attention on a storeroom where chemicals like ethanol were stored. Several small explosions were heard during the height of the fire.
The fire was brought under control at about 2.20pm.
No one was injured as most of the workers had gone out for either prayers or lunch.
The cause of the fire and losses have yet to be determined.
