This is a parking lot for a hospital building in Busan.

Fire is soaring high.

The fire fighters fire their water cannons to extinguish the fire.

Patients who are hospitalized in the building are on emergency evacuation.

The fire that started here burned down the parking lot and spread to the outside of the building, and now you see half the height of the building is black.

The fire rescued 31 inpatients, 11 of whom were smoked and taken to nearby hospitals.

[Park Jung-eun / Patient Guardian: There was a mess and people gathered. (Patient) Guardians came all at dawn. (Patient) his mouth was dark. Drinking a lot of smoke. How surprised I am?]

There was a rehabilitation hospital in the building with fire, so most of the hospitalized patients were inconvenient.

The fire authorities, who were dispatched immediately after the report, turned off the fire in about 30 minutes.

In the process, smoke went into the hospital, but firefighters quickly evacuated large casualties.

[Kim Joong-geun / Busan Nambu Fire Station: When the crew opened each floor and searched, patients who were unable to walk were evacuated to the ground using karma or elevator wheelchairs.]

Police and fire authorities will jointly investigate the exact cause of the fire.
