The images capture the intense effort of the first responders, showing both the scale of the fire and the professionalism of the teams involved. Local residents watched from a safe distance, grateful for the quick response that helped prevent further damage.

Steel Angle

The steel angle is a carbon structural steel for construction. It is section steel with a simple cross-section. It is mainly used for metal components and the frame of the workshop. It is required to have good weldability, plastic deformation performance and certain mechanical strength in use. The raw steel billet for the production of angle steel is a low-carbon square billet, and the finished angle steel is delivered in the form of normalized or hot rolled.

Steel angle bar can be made into pressure structural bracket based on different size and grade, and also can be made into connector between structural beam. Widely used for various building structures and engineering structures, such as house beams, bridges, power transmission towers, lifting, and transportation machinery, ships, industrial furnaces, reaction towers, container racks, cable trench brackets, power piping, busbar bracket installation, and warehouse shelves.

Equal and unequal are the two major types of steel angle:

Steel angles are fashioned using a single Flat Steel section and bending it, generally at a 90-degree angle with both legs the same size. See below for a rundown of the different steel angle types:

Equal angle

Equal steel angles have 2 axes` that are the same length, hence their name. They are the most common types of steel section and can be made to various specs and cut to any size, making them extremely versatile. Their sizing is represented by side A x side B x thickness.

Unequal angle

Unequal steel angles are also right-angled; however, they have different sized axis` making them L-shaped. This section is much stronger (up to 20%) with a much higher strength to weight ratios. Their sizing is represented by side A x side B x thickness.
