TEHRAN (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 04th August, 2020) A major fire broke out on Tuesday at Iran's power station in the northern Selman province, state tv reported.
"Brigades of firefighters managed to extinguish the fire after several hours since its outbreak," the head of the province's fire department, Saeed Ismail Por, said, as quoted by state TV.
An investigation into the incident is underway, the chief said, adding that the high temperature had led to the spill of chemical materials from a 20-million liters capacity tank and resulted in the fire outbreak, according to preliminary results.
