Fire at Gimhae Warehouse Being Extinguished for 13 Hours... Fire Authorities Say It May Take 2-3 Days
[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Sehee] At around 7:20 a.m. on the 1st, a fire broke out at an aluminum waste storage warehouse in Hallim-myeon, Gimhae-si, Gyeongnam, and has not been extinguished for over 13 hours.
The Gyeongnam Fire Headquarters stated, "Aluminum waste is a hydrophobic substance that explodes upon contact with water, making it difficult to extinguish the fire using water."
The Fire Headquarters is building sand barriers around the factory to prevent the fire from spreading and is waiting for the fire to be completely extinguished.
The fire authorities expect it will take about 2 to 3 days for the fire to be fully extinguished.
