Yes, it is in front of the cosmetics manufacturing plant in Namdong-gu, Incheon.
It's been about 4 hours since the fire started, and now the lights are off.
At the cosmetic factory here, when you take off your mask, a pungent smell sticks to your nose.
The fire came out at the workshop on the second floor of this factory at around 4:12 pm today (19th).
After about two and a half hours, it was completely turned off at around 6:40 pm, and now we are working on a search inside the factory.
The fire killed three factory workers and injured six.
Four out of six injured were moved to a nearby hospital, of which one woman in her 40s was seriously injured.
Also among the injured was one firefighter in their 30s who extinguished the fire.
<Anchor> There
is a great deal of damage to people, but is there anything revealed about the cause of the fire?
<Reporter>
All three of the dead were found in an hour and a half after a fire broke out in the workshop on the second floor of the factory.
The fire department believes that a fire broke out while workers were working on plating in the workshop on the second floor of the factory, and the fire started when an explosion started.
There are two two-story factories that have a fire, and the total area is over 3,000 square meters.
The fire department initiated the first phase of the response and deployed more than 60 fire engines and 140 firefighters.
It will take longer for the exact initial point of ignition and the cause of the fire to emerge.
