A huge fire engulfs an electronic appliance
supermarket in Xinhua County, Central China's Hunan Province
December 18, 2005. No deaths or injuries were reported yet.
The fire broke out when a wholesaler in an opposite market accidentally
set off his firecrackers which ignited ad banners on the second floor of
the supermarket, witnesses said.
The wholesalers's booth and four neighbouring ones were also destroyed
in the accident. The fire caused more than 10 million yuan of economic
losses, authorities said. [newsphoto]
