Yes, I am at the scene of the Miryang fire in South Gyeongsang Province.
There is still a thick layer of smoke at the scene.
Currently, all the flames are under control, and the fire department said that the main fire was extinguished at 11:08 am.
The fire was first reported at 4:57 this morning.
As the fire spread, the fire department issued a second stage of response at 6:16 am to mobilize personnel and equipment from the adjacent fire department.
89 pieces of equipment, including pump trucks and elevated ladder trucks supported by Busan, Ulsan, Gimhae, and Changnyeong, and 326 firefighters were put into the field.
One factory building was all burned, and the fire moved to a nearby temporary building and yard.
In addition, 7 forest fire extinguishing helicopters and 132 firefighters were urgently dispatched to prevent the fire from spreading to nearby hills.
When the fire broke out, about 20 workers inside the factory were evacuated, and it was found that there were no casualties.
When a large fire was caught, the fire authorities lowered the 9:42 a.m. response level 2 to level 1.
Then, at 11:08 am, it was revealed that the main fire was extinguished.
The factory that caught fire is a place where interior materials for automobiles, aircraft, and ships are produced and processed.
Last year, an explosion occurred at Hankuk Carbon, killing two people and injuring four others.
