Black smoke covered the eight-story building.

There were many people in the building, which was feared to cause major damage.Of the 300 people in the

building, 35 were injured, but fortunately, they were only injured enough to inhale smoke.

The design and safety management of the building were well done to prevent the disaster.

According to the police investigation, the fire started in the kitchen fryer of the kimbap restaurant on the first floor at the time.

As the fryer overheated, the fire was transferred to the smoke pipe, and it was designed to allow smoke to escape to the outdoor parking lot.

If you had escaped to a common vent in the building, the fire might have spread to another floor in the building.

[Witness (last 3 days): The whole building was charred by smoke and the front building was a little better. roadside]
The
fire protection facility was also operational.

The fire door was firmly closed, and the sprinklers were turned back in time.

In addition, more than 100 people were able to evacuate safely because the rooftop door was not locked.

The police are considering awarding a commendation to the building manager.

In addition, we are considering charging the person who started the fire and the owner of the gimbap restaurant on charges of misfire.
