Fire Nation Army factory

"fire"

- Army makes their metal there.

The Fire Nation army factory was a factory located on the shore of the Jang Hui River. This smelting plant was where the Fire Nation army manufactured metals for various weapons and vehicles. The cooling system provided by the river water helped in the production of a tough, new metal for armor. However, as a result, the plant dumped a significant amount of waste into the river while large smoke stacks simultaneously contaminated the air. To General Mung, this pollution was a small price to pay for building weapons that could help the Fire Nation win the Hundred Year War.

History
The factory was built in 90 ASC and had an immediate and hazardous effect on surrounding ecosystems. It was the excessive pollution from this plant that led to the plight of the Jang Hui fishing village, where most of the population was sickened by the polluted water and left to starve from the lack of healthy fish.

In 100 ASC, the factory was destroyed by Aang and Katara when the latter masqueraded as the Painted Lady, the spirit who protected Jang Hui. General Mung responded by sending a team of domestic soldiers to destroy the defenseless village. They were defeated by Katara and Aang, who warned them never to return. The loss of this sinister factory allowed Jang Hui to thrive once again.
