The second joint identification of the police and fire departments on the fire site at the Icheon Logistics Warehouse in Gyeonggi, where 38 people were killed, was held today (1st).

Prior to the first round of six hours yesterday, the main task was to remove the debris that had accumulated on the floor inside the building, and it was assumed that the fire started on the second basement level.

As a result, the 2nd Joint Sensation, which took place over 5 hours from 11 am today, focused on identifying the point where the fire started, the cause of the fire, and the first explosion.

However, since the inside of the basement floor was burned badly, there has not been confirmed the point where the fire started or any traces of flame work that can be estimated as the cause of the fire.

However, 13 tools, including cutters and chainsaws, were collected from the basement floor and requested to be analyzed by the National Institute of Scientific Investigation.

In addition, 12 items of oil, such as cell phones and glasses, which are believed to belong to victims killed in the accident, were found.

The Gyeonggi Southern Police Agency said, "We will conduct additional identification if necessary according to the investigation process in the future."
