Today (29th), the fire was a building with 4 stories above the ground and 2 stories below the ground. The building was scheduled to be completed two months later, so there were not enough fire-fighting facilities in the building.

This is Hong Young-jae.

<Reporter> The

accident warehouse started construction in May last year for the purpose of refrigeration and refrigeration, and was scheduled to be completed two months later.

In recent years, work has been concentrated on internal construction, and many of the 78 people who were on fire today have been put into finishing work on the second basement level.

Because of this, the workers who were working in the basement, such as the second basement floor and the first basement floor where the accident occurred, were seriously damaged.

Some of the workers who worked on the ground floor were evacuated to the rooftop, but it was reported that the damage on the ground floor was serious.

At the time of the explosion, it is believed that the vapor from the basement flowed directly to the third floor in the building.

[Police officials: It was discovered that it was found underground, but it has not yet entered the basement. He said so, firefighting.]


It is known that the fire building has not yet been equipped with enough fire-fighting facilities, such as sprinklers, due to the ongoing construction.

The construction company claims that temporary fire-fighting facilities such as simple fire extinguishers and guides, which are compulsory equipment, were installed and reported during the completion process.

However, experts believe that this facility alone was not enough to avoid the explosion that occurred in an instant.

[Firefighters: Fire extinguishers basically enter. Portable loudspeakers, those, and guided lights go in.] The

fire department will also investigate whether the fire-fighting equipment was properly installed in the accident warehouse after the casualties were recovered.
