At Suwon Golden Plaza, 35 people were injured and about 250 people were evacuated.

It was reported that the fire started at the bottom of the 11-storey Golden Plaza commercial building in Pullang-gu, Suwon, about 4:15 pm.

35 people were drunk at 6:00 pm on this fire and were taken to the hospital after being injured.

One of them, unconscious, recovered his consciousness, the fire department said.

According to the results of fire detection by the fire department, there is a possibility that more people will be injured.

There were about 250 guests in the underground PC rooms on the first and second floors, which were supposed to have been burnt, but they were evacuated urgently to prevent further damage.

Because of the smoke that was emitted from the fire scene, the employees of the Maesan-dong resident center next to the building, civil servants, the malls and the residents in the property had to evacuate all outside.

The fire department issued a response to the fire in 15 minutes after the fire occurred, and has been working to evacuate for two hours.

Response Phase 2 is a light-duty operation to mobilize personnel and equipment in the adjacent 5 to 6 fire stations.

The police and the fire department will investigate the detailed fire incident as they catch the fire.
