Fire Breaks Out at Another Incheon Coupang Fulfillment Center 5 Days Later... Extinguished with Fire Extinguisher

Five days after a fire broke out at a Coupang fulfillment center in Incheon, another fire occurred at a different Coupang logistics facility in the city, but it was put out internally with a fire extinguisher, preventing a major blaze.

According to the Incheon Fire Headquarters today (July 23), a fire broke out at 6:55 a.m. today in the refrigerated warehouse on the 6th floor of Coupang Fulfillment Center 15 in Hangdong 7-ga, Jemulpo-gu, Incheon.

There were no casualties, but a portion of a mobile elevated work platform used in the refrigerated warehouse was burned.

Fire authorities were dispatched to the scene and took safety measures after receiving a report from a logistics center official stating, "A fire broke out underneath a refrigerated warehouse rental and we extinguished it ourselves using a fire extinguisher."

Police and fire authorities believe the fire started in the battery of the mobile elevated work platform and plan to investigate the exact cause of the fire and the scale of the damage.

A fire official said, "When we arrived at the scene, the fire had already been extinguished with a fire extinguisher," adding, "We plan to withdraw after completing safety measures at the scene."

Previously in Incheon, a fire broke out at Coupang Fulfillment Center 32 in Seoknam동, Seohae-gu on the 18th and was completely extinguished at 8:35 p.m. the previous day, about 109 hours later.
