Let's summarize the contents so far with reporter Han Sang-woo of the incident team.

Q. What has been the cause of human injury to date?

[Reporter Sang-Woo Han: Once the fire is extinguished and the internal search continues, the number of deaths is increasing. It was confirmed that the number of deaths increased by one, so the number of deaths was 37. It was identified as 1 serious injury and 9 minor injuries. As of 7:20 PM, 10 of the dead have been confirmed to have not yet recovered. As there were 78 workers in nine companies working at the time of the fire, the number of deaths is likely to increase as the search continues.]

Q. What is urethane foam work?

[Reporter Sang-Woo Han: I thought that there was an explosion at the time of the fire, so there was a fire during urethane foam work. You can see that urethane foam is insulated. Insulating work produces steam. Vapor is a state in which flammable substances are vaporized, but even in a vaporized condition, even a small flame can be greatly lit. In particular, it should be noted that the place where the fire is located is not underground. There is a possibility that the flames may have spread greatly due to sparks while not ventilated and vapor was accumulated.]

Q. How to rescue?

[Reporter Sang-Woo Han: Once the building is on fire, there are 4 stories above ground and 2 stories below ground. Also, the fire started on the second basement level, and it was understood that there were many people working at the time on the second basement level and the third floor. So once the search operations around the basement and the second floor, there are also 3 floors above ground because there are still some toxic gases, even finding it difficult to search operations.]

Q. is similar refrigerated warehouse fire in Icheon and 2008?

[Reporter Sang-Woo Han: At that time, there were problems with sandwich panels and urethane foam during the 2008 Icheon Frozen Warehouse fire. However, the insulation effect of warehouses is important, but urethane foam can be built quickly just by filling it. It is easy to build and has excellent insulation effect and low price. That's why we still use urethane foam when building or maintaining warehouses, so it can be considered as related to this fire.]
