周一，香港位于石鼓洲外海人工岛上的转废为能焚化炉发生火灾。消防处表示，火警于下午12时43分在综合废物管理设施第一期发生，并于下午1时24分升级为三级火警。三级火警是五个火警级别中的第三级，五级为最严重。火警级别越高，意味着调派更多资源进行灭火。
A fire broke out on Monday at Hong Kong’s waste-to-energy incinerator on an artificial island off Shek Kwu Chau. The blaze started at 12.43pm at the Integrated Waste Management Facilities Phase I and was upgraded to a No 3 alarm at 1.24pm, the Fire Services Department said. A No 3 alarm is the third of five levels, with five the most severe. Higher alarm levels trigger the deployment of more resources to fight a fire.
消防人员动用了两条水喉及两队烟帽队进行扑救。目前暂无伤亡报告。
Firefighters deployed two water jets and two breathing apparatus teams to battle the flames. No casualties have been reported so far.
该设施正式名称为I·PARK1，是香港首个大型转废为能设施。它建于香港西南部水域石鼓洲外海约12公顷的人工岛上，设计每日可处理多达3000吨废物。
The facility, officially named I·PARK1, is the city’s first large-scale waste-to-energy plant. Built on a roughly 12-hectare artificial island off Shek Kwu Chau in the city’s southwestern waters, it is designed to handle up to 3,000 tonnes of waste a day.
该设施耗资313亿港元（约40亿美元），历时七年多建成，于去年12月投入运作，是政府计划在2035年前逐步淘汰对堆填区依赖的一部分。
Costing HK$31.3 billion (US$4 billion) and taking more than seven years to build, the facility began operations in December last year as part of the government’s plan to phase out reliance on landfills by 2035.
