Evidence Consumed by Fire: "Just Before Moving Out" at Eunma Apartment, Unusual Findings

In February, a tragic fire occurred at the Eunma Apartment complex in Daechi-dong, Seoul, resulting in the death of a high school student.

The possibility has been raised that unlicensed electrical work was the cause of the fire.

In its investigation report regarding the Eunma Apartment fire, the fire department concluded the case as having an unknown cause for the time being.

This is because all physical evidence pointing to the ignition source was destroyed by the fire.

However, the investigation team unusually highlighted in several parts of the report the possibility that carelessness by the company during electrical wiring work, which took place just before the move-out, led to the electrical factors behind the fire.

This is because it was confirmed that the wires in the kitchen ceiling, presumed to be the point of ignition, were connected in a way that lacked stability, and furthermore, they were not covered with non-combustible protective material.

The workers who handled the wiring were also found to have no electrical technical certifications or licenses.
