Firefighters constantly shoot water cannons, but the fire is rarely caught.

At about 8:30 last night, a fire broke out at a pig barn in Seogwipo, Jeju.

It was a place where 6,000 pigs were raised, but there were about 4,000 pigs in the barn.

Fire officials say the fire spread quickly because the building is made of sandwich panels that are vulnerable to fire.

Accordingly, the first phase of response was issued to put in all the fire fighting powers of the jurisdiction.

The flames were all caught in 9 hours, but all the pigs inside were said to be dead.

The fire department said there were no sprinklers inside the building, but it was not subject to installation.

a similar time, a three-story underground plastic manufacturing plant in Seongdong-gu, Seoul caught fire and went out in 40 minutes.

No one was hurt, but the machine in the factory burned.

The police believe that the fire has started due to electrical factors and investigate the exact cause of the fire.
