Right, what's really weird is there was another fire at the Shandong chemical plant in July, which is before the Tianjin explosions. So this is really 3 fires at 2 locations which store chemicals over the last couple of months.

Explosion at chemical warehouse in China's Shandong province

" An explosion occurred at a chemical warehouse in Shandong province in eastern China on Saturday evening, the People's Daily China reported. The site is only one kilometer from a residential area.

Firefighters were dealing with the aftermath of the blast in Zibo County, Chinese media reported.

The explosion was so strong that its blast wave was felt within a five-kilometer (3.1 miles) radius, TASS reported, citing local media. Windows in nearby houses shattered.

Chinese media report that eight people have been injured.

Local authorities have reportedly started evacuation of residents in the area near the blast site."

...

"Last week, more than a hundred people were killed and some 700 injured in explosions at a warehouse storing hazardous chemicals in Tianjin port. Dozens are still missing and thousands of people were evacuated from the area, their homes having been either destroyed or deemed unsafe to return to."
