[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Go Dallyoung] On the afternoon of the 7th, around 4 PM, a fire broke out at the home of Hong Mo (84, female) in Wonun Village, Ungyo-ri, Baegun-myeon, Jinan-gun, Jeonbuk. However, thanks to the prompt initial response by a sanitation worker from the Baegun-myeon Office, major property damage was prevented.

The cause of the fire is presumed to have originated from remaining embers in a hearth near the house, which then spread to the boiler room door. There was only minor property damage, limited to the loss of the sandwich panel door, and no casualties were reported.

Lee Giho, head of Baegun-myeon, stated, “Upon receiving the fire report, I rushed to the scene and, together with staff, reassured the elderly resident who was startled by the fire and took measures to contact her children.”
