On the last weekend before the New Year, a fire broke out in a studio in Ulsan, killing a 5-year-old boy who was home alone. It is reported that the accident occurred while the father, the child’s only guardian, went to clean the new house where the child was staying.
According to the Ulsan Southern Police Station, a fire broke out in a studio on the second floor of a four-story villa in Dal-dong, Nam-gu, Ulsan, around 5:05 p.m. on December 30. Firefighting authorities responded to the fire and extinguished the fire in about 25 minutes. Lee (5), who was alone in a studio on the second floor at the time of the fire, was found dead. Lee was found lying under rubble, including household goods, near the entrance to a charred, charred, partially collapsed two-story studio. Police believe that Lee died before being able to evacuate after the fire broke out. It is reported that the fire was so strong that black smoke and flames were billowing out of the windows of the studio when the fire department was dispatched.
The fire occurred while Lee’s father, Mr. Lee, in his 40s, was away from home, so people around him could not hide their sorrow. According to the police, Mr. Lee, who divorced his wife, brought Lee in and started living with him on December 11 last year, and it is reported that he recently signed a contract for another house and was planning to move in soon. On the day of the fire, at around 2 PM, Mr. Lee left the house to clean the house he was moving into, leaving Lee alone, but the fire broke out three hours later. A police official said, “The father was so shocked and saddened by the news that his son had died that he could not say anything for a while.”
The police believe that the fire was caused by electrical factors inside the house where Lee lives and are investigating the cause of the fire. Police and fire authorities reportedly found traces of a fire starting around a microwave near the entrance to the house. The police and fire authorities plan to determine the exact cause of the fire through an on-site investigation with the National Institute of Forensic Science on the morning of the 2nd.
At that time, a woman in her 60s living on the third floor of the same building suffered injuries to her back and ankles when she jumped out of the building to escape the fire. Additionally, the man who owned the building also suffered a finger injury.
