Fire at Foxconn's Zhengzhou Plant

The factory, which is responsible for a substantial part of the iPhone-production, was affected by a fire that broke out in the facility's air conditioning system and then spread to several floors, Techcrunch writes. However, representatives from the company later told reporters that no casualties were reported and that the manufacturing won't be affected. In a statement, Foxconn said that the fire ”was brought under control by the fire department shortly after it was reported”, Techcrunch concludes.
