Beijing’s biggest steel company has shut down another of its blast furnaces as part of efforts to clean up the city before the Summer Olympics.

The Beijing Shougang Group, one of the capital city’s major polluters, extinguished the fire in the number four blast furnace after 35 years in operation.

The number two furnace will be shut down by March and operations in number three will be suspended during the games according to Li Yan, head of Shougang’s production department.
