These efforts focused on extinguishing the fire, cooling adjacent areas, and preventing the blaze from spreading.

With urgency and determination, the team successfully rescued three injured victims trapped in the fire zone, evacuated tons of assets, equipment, and goods, and fully extinguished the fire. All assets and goods at the terminal and nearby facilities were safeguarded.
