What harm can the Kongming lanterns released by Bai Xing outside the factory area cause to the oil storage areas and production facilities inside the factory?
It’s clearly not good for safety; we should go and raise awareness in the area

It is clearly very dangerous for objects such as those carried by Bai Xing to drift from outside the factory into its oil storage areas and production facilities, as this can easily lead to fires and explosions. Therefore, it is necessary to inform the local residents more about the dangers associated with this enterprise, as well as the precautions and emergency measures that should be taken. Additionally, it is important to communicate more with the local authorities so that they can also assist in management (local administrative departments are generally very effective in such matters). Furthermore, it is prohibited to release sky lanterns here, at any time and in any place.
That is the ignition source; if there is loading/unloading or a leak in the tank area, a major accident will occur
Releasing sky lanterns is a custom in some places; increased publicity doesn’t have much effect on this practice, and it’s impossible to ban it. For businesses, there are risks associated with this activity. Generally, there is a specific time for releasing sky lanterns, such as during certain local festivals. Businesses can develop plans based on the specific circumstances, and it’s important to assign more staff to keep an eye on the situation at least during the period when sky lanterns are released.
The question posed by the original poster is a bit too simple; anyone who has seen sky lanterns knows that they contain an open flame, which can easily cause fires!
Personal opinion: The height of the sky lantern in the air is definitely higher than the height of the storage tank. If it falls, it means the fire has gone out; only when the fire is extinguished will the lantern fall.
Friends in Building 7#, sometimes when a sky lantern falls, it doesn’t necessarily go out; if the fire is weak, there isn’t enough heat to generate upward thrust, so the lantern falls back down. Don’t hot air balloons use adjustments to the intensity of the fire to control their altitude? Last night and the night before, I was on duty at the workplace to watch whether this stuff drifted into our factory, and whether any fireworks debris fell on our premises! The poster should also be careful about fire sources in this area! It’s not a joke!
The history of sky lanterns is long, and the principle behind them was basically explained by the user upstairs – they fall only when the fire goes out. However, from a safety perspective, we need to eliminate any potential risks, especially since the owner’s workplace is an oil depot; there can be no room for carelessness or negligence at all. An incident in an oil depot is a serious matter.
It is necessary to do a good job in public relations. The office spends time and money meeting with local town and village leaders to foster cooperation and similar efforts.
I don’t know if sky lanterns are considered sophisticated nowadays; anyway, the ones I saw as a child would come down with fire on them! So I can guarantee that there are definitely no extinguished ones that have fallen.
