Fire at Plastic Manufacturing Factory in Yongin City... Extinguished After About 3 Hours

A fire broke out at a plastic product manufacturing factory located in Cheoin-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do at 3:47 PM on the 12th, and the fire department extinguished it after about three hours.

The building on fire consists of four 3-story buildings with a total floor area of approximately 2,600㎡.

The factory was not in operation at the time, so it was confirmed that there were no workers inside. About 20 people who were in the external dormitory safely evacuated, and there were no casualties.

The fire department, concerned about the risk of fire spread in the early stages, issued a Level 1 response (an emergency alert mobilizing 31 to 50 pieces of equipment from 3 to 7 fire stations) 20 minutes after receiving the report, deploying 40 pieces of equipment and 120 personnel to suppress the fire. The fire department completed extinguishing the fire at 7:08 PM.

The fire department is investigating the detailed cause of the fire.
