As often happens with fires, it's all in the spectacularly horrible CapQ!

I'm wondering whether this was an error, since the fire raged for 5 hours and was declared over at 7:01 PM:

These are local times, of course.

So it sounds like maybe 1:00-2:00 PM is the likely range? (Running it for around noon isn't so bad an estimate, then.)

The fire was started by sparks from welding being done on the factory's main entrance door, which ignited fumes.
The seven hour fire was out by 6:47 p.m. on Wednesday from CNN reports. The fire was upgraded to "Level Charlie" about an hour after it began.
