Black smoke constantly billows through the roof of the factory that has fallen.

The sky is so gray that I can see it all.

You can see a red fire inside the window and the outer wall of the building is burned black.

Firefighters constantly spray water to extinguish the fire.

In the early morning, a big fire broke out at an electronics factory with one basement and four ground floors in Wonwon-dong, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do.

At that time, all 70 people in the factory were evacuated, but no one was injured.

But as debris splattered around and explosions were heard, nearby residents were terrified.

[Fire Witness: The sound of a cannon is popping, and it's very loud. The windows were splattered with fragments.

In addition, as gray smoke filled the area, Suwon City bypassed the road near the factory and sent a notice asking for safety attention.

[Fire Witness] There was a smelly smell, and people were wearing masks. It smelled a lot of toxic gas from the factory.]

Fire authorities believe the fire started at the capacitor manufacturing machine in Saengsan-dong on the third floor of the factory, and are investigating the exact cause of the fire and the extent of the damage.
