China News Service, June 20. According to Korean media reports, on the 17th, a fire broke out in the logistics center of Coupang, a South Korean e-commerce company, located in Depyeong, Icheon, Gyeonggi-do.
At present, the fire extinguishing work has continued for four days.
At 8 am local time on the 20th, at the fire scene of the Coupang Deping Logistics Center, firefighters were still spraying water outside to clean up the residual fire.
Due to the large amount of combustible materials inside the building, it is expected that it will take a long time to completely extinguish the fire.
According to reports, the total area of the building is equivalent to 15 football fields.
Inside the building, there are about 16.2 million items, and there are many combustible materials such as paper and plastic.
The building was completely burnt down, the interior was full of black ashes, and the external architectural skeleton was exposed.
The 20th was the fourth day of the fire, and the fire was significantly reduced compared to the initial period, which also eliminated the risk of landslides.
A fire-fighting person said: “Whether to enter the building will be re-decided through the morning meeting” and “for safety reasons, fire fighting is being carried out outside the building.”
According to reports, at 5:20 am local time on the 17th, a fire broke out in the logistics center.
After receiving the alarm, the firefighting authority immediately mobilized nearby firefighters to respond, mobilizing more than 60 equipment and more than 150 personnel to extinguish the fire.
Two days later, the fire was controlled.
Presumably, the fire was caused by a fire in the socket above the shelf in the goods warehouse.
