ZHANGZHOU - The fire in a chemical plant in east China's Fujian province has been finally put out, more than 2 days after blasts occurred there, said authorities.

According to the emergency response headquarters for the accident, the blaze in the plant of Tenglong Aromatic Hydrocarbon (Zhangzhou) Co. Ltd. on Gulei Peninsula of Zhangzhou City was extinguished at around 2:57 a.m. on Thursday after storage tanks repeatedly caught fire.

On Monday evening, oil leaked from a xylene facility in the plant caught fire and led to blasts at three nearby tanks.
