Black smoke billowed into the sky, and red flames engulfed the factory building.



Firefighters try to spray water, but it is not enough because the factory on fire is so wide.



Yesterday (4th) around 5:30 pm, there was a big fire at the cell phone glass film manufacturing plant in the 4th Industrial Complex in Gupo-dong, Gumi-si.

The smoke has turned black and is now blowing with the wind.

That's why I keep shooting fire trucks with ladder trucks.]



The fire department issued a 'response stage 1' within 50 minutes of receiving the report, but as the flames were not extinguished, the 'response stage 2' was issued from 6:15 pm.



About 100 firefighters and 43 vehicles were used to extinguish the fire for five hours, and the big fire was extinguished last night around 11:30.



In the process, three firefighters were burned, but 130 workers out of 200 factory workers were evacuated yesterday, so it is known that there are no additional casualties.



The factory that caught fire this time is the size of five soccer fields and is a general steel-framed sandwich panel building.



Gumi City Hall sent an emergency text message to nearby residents to urge them to be careful about safety accidents.
