Why cooking sausages in a fireworks factory before bonfire night is a bad idea

Bonfire night came early for one hungry OAP when he foolishly decided to cook sausages in a fireworks factory.  

Hung Feng, 72, was preparing a snack when the flames from his cooking started a blaze that completely destroyed the whole building, firefighters believe. He had promised to ‘keep an eye’ on the Chinese factory for his son, the building’s owner, Ho Feng, 48, who had gone out for the evening. ‘When I left I know that my father told me he was going to cook some Lap Cheong (Chinese sausages),’ explained Mr Ho. ‘As he was a firework maker as well it didn’t occur to me that I would need to warn him.’

The whole building was destroyed in an explosion caused by the fire, sending tens of thousands of pounds worth of fireworks up in smoke. As firefighters tackled the blaze in Penggang village, Hubei province, locals were treated to a spectacular two-hour fireworks display. Mr Ho added: ‘It is a tragedy but at least my father escaped, he ran out and was unhurt.’
