Unmanned machine caused fire
13/05/2009
The authorities in the Italian province of Avellino have confirmed that a fire earlier this month in a major tannery in the Solofra leather cluster was accidental and was caused by a defective machine.
An unspecified tanning machine caught fire after starting on a timer during the night. When the first members of staff arrived at the tannery at seven o’clock in the morning they immediately smelled smoke and alerted the emergency services.
Firefighters were able to put the fire out quickly and track down the cause of the accident.
