Another Japanese FAB caught fire.

 

This is the third or fourth fire at a FAB recently?

 

So, are these fires due to management/corporate overlords asking for increased output, and damn the hazards, or is there another reason that these FABs are catching fire?

At first I thought WHAT ANOTHER ONE SO FAST? Turns out its the same one..

Oh, is this just BBC's 'reporting' being really slow and stupid again? Eh.

Same BBC article was linked in there so thankfully was easy to confirm.

Can't go into it because of the rules, but some people don't like Japan, and they're not going to be transparent about it.
