This is really concerning. Chemical factories should have better safety protocols. What if this had happened during daytime when more workers were present? Authorities need to conduct strict safety audits of all such units.

I live near the industrial area. The smoke was visible from quite a distance. Hope there's no toxic chemical release that could affect the surrounding residential areas. 🏭

The timing at 2 AM probably saved many lives. But we need to know what caused this fire - electrical short circuit, chemical reaction, or negligence? Proper investigation must be done and results made public.

While I appreciate the quick response, I'm concerned about the environmental impact. Chemical fires can release harmful pollutants. Hope the authorities are monitoring air quality in nearby residential areas.
