TEHRAN -- Firefighters on Sunday managed to control a blaze at Zarand Iranian Steel Company in the southeastern Kerman province.
Ali Sadeqzadeh, governor of the town of Zarand, said there were no human losses. The fire, he added, was contained and only damaged the cables around the furnace site. “A sudden overflow of molten material in the blast furnace caused a fire and smoke, but there was no explosion at the furnace site or other parts of the plant,” Sadeqzadeh explained.
