A fire has broken out at a warehouse in Yeoju, Gyeonggi Province, prompting fire authorities to issue a Level 1 response and conduct firefighting operations.
According to authorities, a 119 report was received at around 9:52 PM yesterday (October 18) stating that a fire had broken out at a warehouse in Daedang-ri, Heungcheon-myeon, Yeoju.
Believing that the fire could spread to adjacent buildings, the fire department issued a Level 1 response at around 10:45 PM and deployed 35 pieces of equipment and about 80 personnel to battle the blaze.
The warehouse where the fire started stored general household items such as ceramics. As there was no one inside at the time of the fire, no casualties have been reported so far.
At around 11:06 PM last night, the city of Yeoju sent out an emergency disaster text message urging nearby residents to "exercise caution for safety as a large amount of smoke is being generated due to a factory fire in Daedang-ri, Heungcheon-myeon."
Police and fire authorities plan to investigate the exact cause of the fire and the scale of property damage once the blaze is completely extinguished.
