In the dark darkness, flames and smoke billow through the rain, as if to engulf the entire building.

A fire broke out at a poultry farm in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province, at around 5:50 p.m. yesterday.

The fire burned four buildings, including a warehouse, and was extinguished in four hours.

No one was injured by nine employees, but the fire caused 1 billion won in damage, with 170,000 chickens burned.

Fire authorities believe the fire started in the warehouse and are investigating the exact cause of the fire.

Black smoke rises behind the line of cars.

[Kim Eunjung / Victim passenger: Our rental car (company) closes at 8 o'clock. There are situations where I can't rent a car because I can't get there at that time, so I have to take a taxi to the accommodation, and then I have to take a taxi back to the rental car company tomorrow morning....]
