<Reporter>

Yes, I can see the entrance to the Gospel building, which is now controlled by my back. The search has been completed in the morning, and the CSU is now in the process of making a precise diagnosis.

The firefighters arrived at the scene five minutes after receiving a report that the building was on fire at around 5 am, but said the fire was not as easy as castration.

[Jeon Ryu-min / Chief of the Jongno Fire Department, Seoul: Most of the daily workers were in the area, so there was a lot of damage as the entrance was blocked.]

170 firefighters were put into the fire and completely extinguished at around 7 am, two hours after the fire.

The building is a three-story building on the first floor, with 26 residents on the third floor, the second and third floor, which were burned to the west, and a rooftop room.

Seven of them died and 11 were injured, some of them were transferred to a vet hospital.

Yes, according to the people who witnessed the fire scene, the alarm did not sound, and some people were hurt away from the window to evacuate quickly.

[Fire witness: I just woke up to the loud bang and banged fire, I woke up to the sound. I have a fire on the 301 side from the third floor with me out. ]

It seems that the fire and the exit were obstructed from the entrance of the third floor in the early morning when all were asleep and the damage was large.

There were no escalators or sprinklers in each room, but the fire department said.

The rest of the casualties are believed to have been unable to use the robbery properly.

The second floor resident was reportedly evacuated to 24 people.

Police and the fire department will jointly testify tomorrow morning to find out the precise cause of the fire whether the fire detector installed in each room is functioning properly or there is a possibility of fire.
