It was confirmed that the final number of deaths from fire accidents at a construction warehouse in Icheon, Gyeonggi Province on the 29th was confirmed.

The Gyeonggi-do Fire and Disaster Headquarters announced today (30th) that all of the precision search procedures have been completed at the 10:20 am fire scene.

From the afternoon of the day before the fire extinguishing work was completed, the fire department conducted several searches over the night on a warehouse building with 2 stories underground and 4 stories above ground, and recovered 38 victims.

Victims were the most common with 18 people on the second floor, and four were recovered from the other five floors.

Police identified 29 of them by fingerprint.

The remaining nine are unable to verify their fingerprints, so we plan to verify their identity through genetic identification.

As the precision life search process was completed, the police, fire departments, and the National Institute of Scientific Investigation, etc., went on-site to identify the exact cause of the fire.
