The factory fire that occurred at around 5:41 a.m. on the 31st in Saengnim-myeon, Gimhae-si, Gyeongnam was completely extinguished at around 7:31 p.m. the same day.

According to the Gyeongnam Fire Headquarters, 93 firefighters were deployed to the scene, and firefighting equipment such as fire trucks and water tanks, as well as heavy equipment including firefighting helicopters and excavators, were mobilized.

The fire broke out in a warehouse that had not been used for some time but was known to store rubber raw materials.

No casualties occurred due to the fire, but the flames spreading to the accumulated rubber materials made extinguishing efforts difficult.

The police and fire authorities are investigating the exact cause of the fire and the extent of the damage.
