One container used as an office by the construction company was completely burned down, but there were no casualties.


A KEPCO official explained, "The fire occurred in a container unrelated to electrical equipment, so there was no disruption to power supply."



The fire authorities are investigating the exact cause of the fire, which is believed to have been caused by electrical factors.
