Red flames rise, and black smoke rises nonstop.
Yesterday at 6:15 PM, a fire broke out at a textile factory in Soheul-eup, Pocheon-si, Gyeonggi-do.
The fire department extinguished the fire in 40 minutes, but the fire did not go out easily due to a lot of textile fabrics in the factory, so an excavator is used to extinguish the fire for 12 hours.
No one was injured in the fire, but both buildings were burned.
The fire department plans to determine the extent of the damage and investigate the exact cause of the fire as soon as the fire is extinguished.
