{{A fire at a locked poultry slaughterhouse in northeastern China killed at least 119 people on Monday with several people still unaccounted for, the local government and state media said.}}<\/p>\n
The fire broke out just after dawn near Dehui in Jilin province, the provincial government said on its official microblog.<\/p>\n
More than 300 workers were in the plant when the fire broke out, with employees reporting hearing a sudden bang and then seeing dark smoke.<\/p>\n
“About 100 workers have managed to escape from the plant whose gate was locked when the fire occurred” .<\/p>\n
“The complicated interior structure of the prefabricated house in which the fire broke out and the narrow exits have added difficulties to the rescue work,” it added.<\/p>\n
The exact number of people unaccounted for was unclear, as was the cause of the fire.<\/p>\n
The Jilin government said 54 people were injured and had been rushed to hospital.<\/p>\n
