Black smoke billows over the warehouse complex.
A fire broke out at a feed warehouse at Incheon Inner Port Pier at around 3:30 pm today.
About 2,000 tons of feed were stored in the warehouse.
The first stage of the response, which mobilized all the manpower and equipment of the local fire department, was issued, and a large fire was caught around 5:30 pm, but the wind was strong and there were many combustible materials such as grains inside, making it difficult to extinguish the remaining fire.
No casualties have been confirmed as of yet, except for the evacuation of one on-site employee.
