On the roof of the factory where black smoke rises, a firefighting helicopter pours water.
A fire broke out at a textile factory in Yulam-dong, Dong-gu, Daegu around 2:40 pm today.
More than 200 firefighters and helicopters were deployed, but the materials piled up inside the factory burned and emitted black smoke, making it difficult to access and extinguish the site.
[Witness: The smoke came out too loud.
It was so fierce that it really covered the sky, and the fire spread all the way to the top of the building
.
The fire department, which extinguished the big fire in two and a half hours, is building a fire line to prevent the fire from spreading to nearby factories and putting effort into extinguishing the remaining fire.

At around 11:40 a.m. earlier, a fire presumably caused by a short circuit broke out in a house in Bugi-myeon, Jangseong, Jeollanam-do.
The fire department estimated that it caused about 20 million won in property damage, and the fire was extinguished in about 1 hour and 20 minutes without any casualties.
