<Reporter> A
fire that started to spread from one side of the printing factory engulfs the entire factory building in an instant.
Explosions follow.
The fire started at a printing factory in Seoknam-dong, Seo-gu, Incheon, around 7:20 p.m. yesterday.
[Fire Witness: It's the company in front of the burned building.
The power went out with a bang, so I was wandering around and saw a ember outside the window.
After he saw the fire, he called 119...

As the fire quickly moved to nearby factories and business buildings, the building, which was fine like this, was on the verge of collapse in less than an hour.
The fire quickly spread to nine buildings near the factory, as many of the places had exterior walls made of sandwich panels that were vulnerable to fire.
Six out of 10 damaged buildings were completely burnt to ashes.
The fire department, which caught the big fire about 4 hours after the fire broke out, is now cleaning up the remaining embers.
Fortunately, no casualties have been confirmed so far.
At one time, a second stage of response was issued to mobilize personnel and equipment from 5 to 6 nearby fire stations.
Police and fire authorities plan to investigate the exact cause of the fire and the extent of damage by checking nearby CCTV as soon as the extinguishing work is completed.
