[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] A fire broke out at a waste disposal company in Gwangju.


According to the Gwangsan Fire Station in Gwangju on the 3rd, a report was received at the 119 situation room around 3:18 a.m. that a fire had broken out at a waste disposal company's yard in Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City.


It is known that a citizen passing nearby saw the flames and reported it.


There were no casualties, but the waste disposal facility and about 10 tons of waste were destroyed.


The fire authorities arrived at the scene within 5 minutes after receiving the report, but firefighting efforts are difficult due to the large accumulation of household waste and discarded furniture.



Currently, the fire is being extinguished, and it is expected to take more time until complete extinguishment.
