The Weibo post said: "On 6 p.m., Feb 8. 2017, the Samsung SDI factory on Qingling Avenue, in the Wuqing Industrial Area caught on fire. We dispatched 19 fire trucks and 110 firefighters to deal with the fire, and as we understand it, the fire was started by lithium batteries and half-assembled products in the production workshops. The fire has been put out, and nobody was injured."

The fire department's account differs from that of Samsung SDI spokesman Shin Yong-doo, who according to Bloomberg, said the fire didn't break out on the production line, but instead stemmed from part of the facility used for waste, including faulty batteries. Shin told Bloombergthat most of the factory was running as normal.
