[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] A large fire broke out in a 33-story residential-commercial complex apartment in Ulsan, forcing hundreds of residents to urgently evacuate to the rooftop. The fire spread rapidly throughout the entire building, driven by strong winds, raising concerns of a major disaster.

At around 11:15 PM on the 8th, a large fire occurred at Samhwan Arnuvo, a residential-commercial complex with about 130 households, located in Sinjeong-dong, Nam-gu, Ulsan.

The fire started on the 12th floor of the building and spread throughout the entire building due to strong winds, putting hundreds of residents in great danger as they evacuated to the rooftop and other areas. About 20 residents who escaped inhaled smoke and were transported to nearby hospitals for treatment.

The Ulsan Fire Headquarters issued a Level 2 response, mobilizing all firefighting forces from nearby fire stations to suppress the fire, but the strong winds are causing significant difficulties in rescue and search operations.
