The man surnamed Jiang who witnessed said that he smelled burning as soon as he woke up. He looked around and found that the iron house rented by his neighbor caught fire, so he hurriedly called the police.
In the beginning, the fire started when smoke came out of the window on the second floor. This is where the neighbor set up the Buddhist temple, and the neighbor said that he visited in the morning, so it may be the fire caused by the furnace.
