Incheon Seoknam-dong Printing Plant Fire Spreads… Complete with 10 buildings

A large fire broke out at a printing house in Incheon, and the fire authorities issued an alarm and started putting out the fire.

When the fire started, black smoke rose with the flames, and 911 calls were also received one after another.

In video taken by firefighters during the extinguishment, the building engulfed in red flames leaned to the right as if collapsing and touched the building next door.

About 100 people, including firefighters, and 61 pieces of equipment were brought to the fire site.

After the fire has been completely extinguished, the firefighters intend to investigate the exact cause of the fire and the extent of the damage to the property.

A fire official said, “The fire site is an area where factories are concentrated, and the flames are spreading from the first building to the nearby area.”
