Looks like bad press for the Samsung Galaxy Note7 is far from over. A fire broke out on Wednesday at one of the factories responsible for making the faulty batteries of the Galaxy Note7. The fire at Samsung SDI Co. in Tianjin, northern China happened at part of the facility where wasted materials were stored (these include faulty batteries). According to the local fire service who responded to the incident, the source of the fire was “lithium batteries inside the production works and some half-finished products.”

Samsung SDI spokesperson Shin Yong-doo tells Reuters the fire is minor and no casualties were reported. The factory is operating as normal without any impact on its production lines. As Apple Insider reports though, there were 110 firefighters and 19 trucks on the scene to put out the fire.
