Ang Zigong, na humigit-kumulang 1,900 kilometro (1,200 milya) mula sa Beijing, kabisera ng China, ay tahanan ng halos 2.5 milyong katao.
Ang mga sunog ay pangkaraniwan na sa China dahil sa kakulangan ng safety standards at poor enforcement.

Noong lamang Enero ngayong taon, dosenang katao ang namatay sa nangyaring sunog sa isang tindahan sa central city ng Xinyu, na ang sanhi ayon sa mga ulat ay ang ilegal na paggamit ng apoy ng mga mangagawa sa basement ng tindahan.
Enero rin nang mamatay naman ang hindi bababa sa 15 katao sa sunog na sumiklab sa isang residential building.
Ang naturang sunog ay nangyari ilang araw lamang pagkatapos ng isa pang sunog sa isang eskuwelahan sa Henan province sa central China na ikinamatay ng 13 mga bata, na pawang natutulog sa isang dormitoryo nang mangyari ang sakuna.
