550 kids and teachers evacuated due to fire at factory near school
2025-11-06
550 students and teachers were evacuated in Shulin on Thursday morning due to a fire raging at a factory next to their school. The blaze started at around 11 a.m. at a garment- and boat-making factory, and created a thick cloud of smoke that quickly spread in the area. The school took the children to a nearby park and dismissed classes early. Fortunately everyone was unharmed.
Thick black smoke shoots straight into the sky. Sirens blaring, fire trucks swerve through traffic.
Firefighters arrive at the scene and begin spraying water to extinguish the flames.
Inside the factory, the fire continues to smolder, sending thick smoke to Ganyuan Elementary School next door, and prompting a full evacuation.

The fire started right behind the school, filling the area with dense smoke. All 550 students and teachers were immediately evacuated.

I saw the smoke, so I rushed out and saw it was coming from over there. It was around 10:30 in the morning. The smell was like burning plastic, really nasty.
The fire occurred at 11 a.m. at a garment- and boat-making factory on Sec. 1 of Ganyuan Street in New Taipei’s Shulin District. The building contained many flammable materials, which caused the fire to spread quickly and fill the area with smoke. People as far away as Sanxia and Yingge reported a burning smell. School was in session at Ganyuan Elementary School next door, so an evacuation was immediately launched, and all 550 students and teachers fled to Wanping Park and a nearby temple. In the end, the school let students home early.

I found out via the group chat we have with other parents. The school evacuated them to the activity center first, but when the smoke got too thick they went to private land behind the school.

The teacher from my kid’s after-school classes had heard about the incident. I didn’t know where my kid was, and when I called the school, nobody answered. I was so relieved afterwards.
Classes ended early, and many parents rushed to collect their kids and take them home. The cause of the blaze remains under investigation.

樹林工廠大火竄濃煙 柑園國小疏散550名師生提早放學
2025-11-06
工廠大火，差點延燒到國小！週四上午11點左右，新北市樹林的一處成衣、造船工廠，突然起火燃燒，除了熊熊烈火，還竄出大量濃煙，由於火場鄰近柑園國小，校方在第一時間，緊急撤離全校550名師生到附近的萬坪公園，後來決定就地放學，還好這一場火，沒有造成傷亡，至於起火原因，還有待調查。
濃濃黑煙，直竄天際，消防車大聲鳴笛，示意前方車輛，趕緊讓道。
一抵達火場，打火弟兄們，立刻拉起水線，噴灑灌救。
只見鐵皮工廠裡，持續悶燒，由於火災地點的旁邊，就是柑園國小，就怕火勢波及，加上濃煙不斷往學校方向飄散，校方緊急撤離所有師生。

“起火地點就在學校的正後方，因此現在校園充滿著濃濃的黑煙，所幸全校師生將近550人，在第一時間就完成撤離。

“我就是先看到煙，我才出去看然後我才知道那邊，大概是十點半左右，那個味道就很像塑膠味，但比塑膠味還刺鼻。”
這一起火警，發生在新北市樹林區柑園街一段。週四早上11點左右，一間造船廠以及成衣工廠，突然起火燃燒，由於廠房內有大量易燃物品，火勢一發不可收拾，不斷竄出的濃煙，伴隨風勢飄散，包括三峽北大特區、部分鶯歌地區，都能聞到燒焦味。由於當時正值上課時間，濃煙還飄進一旁的柑園國小，校方在第一時間，緊急撤離全校550名師生，到附近的萬坪公園和土地公廟，最後決定，就地放學。

“我也是看群組才知道這件事情，學校第一時間就是把他們緊急從教室撤離，撤到活動中心，後來因為煙霧太大，撤離到學校後面的私人土地。”
[[家長]]
“找安親班，安親班的老師好像有聽說。因為不知道小孩子去向去哪，打電話去學校也沒有人接。接到小孩子就好了。
一場火警，讓學生們提早放學，家長們也紛紛趕來接小孩，至於火警的發生原因，後續還有待火調科人員來調查釐清。
