The firefighters who responded to the report extinguished the fire, but smoke entered the villa, blocking visibility and preventing some residents from evacuating.


Police Sergeant Bae Jin-guk and Police Officer Yoon Eun-hye from the Gaegum Police Substation of Busanjin Police Station, who arrived with the firefighters, did not hesitate to run into the fire scene to rescue the residents.


With the help of the building owner, they opened the door and crawled into the smoke-filled room to evacuate the residents. Afterwards, they joined forces with the firefighters to rescue about 10 more residents on other floors.



A police official said, “Some elderly residents were unaware of the fire due to sleeping or hearing impairments, but together with the firefighters, they were safely evacuated.”
