City. On July 6, 2013 two firefighters were killed in a fire at a furniture warehouse in Taishan District, New
Taipei City. The warehouse contained a large amount of flammable materials on a mezzanine and a flashover
occurred when they entered to search the premises, causing the steel beams of the mezzanine to collapse
and full scale blaze to occur. There was a fire at a refrigeration plant on Wuquan 8th Road in Wugu District,
New Taipei City after an ammonia explosion. The cargo lift door was not closed and, when firefighters were
searching for the ammonia valve to close it, feeling their way forward with visibility zero, one accidentally
fell down the lift shaft from the 5th floor to the first floor and was killed. In total, in the last three years (2013-
2015,) 17 firefighters have been killed in the line of duty, seriously eroding firefighter morale and showing
