[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] At 10:52 PM on the 26th, a fire broke out at a guesthouse in Yokjido, Tongyeong-si, Gyeongnam.


The fire started by burning a vinyl greenhouse and then spread to the 143㎡ guesthouse, causing property damage estimated at 65 million won (according to the fire department) and was completely extinguished after 3 hours.


The fire authorities could not deploy a fireboat due to the strong wind and high wave warnings issued for the southern coast that day. As a result, two local firefighters on the island struggled to put out the fire.



The police and fire authorities are investigating the exact cause of the fire, which is believed to have started in the vinyl greenhouse.
