It wasn't until 3 p.m. today that the flames were completely caught. Dozens of people drank smoke and were treated in the hospital, and no one died.

Red flames covered the entire skyscraper.



From a distance, it looks like a giant pillar of fire.

Wow, this is serious?]



Last night at 11:14, a report was received that there was a fire on the 12th floor of Samhwan Art Nouveau, a residential-commercial apartment complex on the 33rd floor of Dal-dong, Nam-gu, Ulsan.



The fire quickly spread through the apartments of 127 households from strong winds.

firefighting authorities issued a second phase of response, mobilizing all nearby firefighters and equipment, and started to extinguish it.



In about an hour and a half, the flames were caught, but the flames hidden between the outer wall cladding panels continued to revive.



Eventually, around 6 a.m., a strong flame soared again around the 18th floor, and the fire department ordered the mobilization of expensive ladder trucks and special firefighting equipment in nearby areas such as Busan.



Around 2:50 PM, the fire went out completely 15 and a half hours after the fire was reported.



Fortunately, no one died, but 93 people were taken to the hospital after inhaling smoke or suffering abrasions.



Three of them were classified as seriously injured due to their high smoke inhalation.



The police, fire fighting, and national fruit trees are investigating the cause of the fire and the rapid spread of fire through joint identification.
