Yesterday (1st), a fire broke out in an apartment in Gunpo, Gyeonggi province, killing 4 people and injuring 7 others.
Some residents could not evacuate because the burning apartment was on a high floor, and there were citizens who saved several with a ladder.
It was a dangerous situation, but he thought he had to save a person’s life and started the team.
Connect with the reporters they cover. Reporter Shin Joon-myeong!
First of all, please tell us about the urgent situation yesterday.
[기자]Let’s watch the video of the fire report.
Red flames rise from the 12th floor apartment and black smoke emanates.
The scale of the fire was significant enough to see flames and smoke even from a distance.
But at the scene of the fire, you see a private ladder truck, not a fire rescue vehicle.
Through this ladder cart, a woman who was hanging from the railing by the fire was safely rescued.
After that, it was confirmed that the ladder truck saved two more elementary school students on the 15th floor.
[앵커]How was the righteous man on the ladder cart there, and how did he come to the rescue?
[기자]Han Sang-hoon, 29, the youth ladder car boss, who is called a ‘hero’ in the community, as the right man from the ladder car and Gunpo Mom Cafe, has been waiting in the parking lot of the complex of apartments from 3pm yesterday after receiving a request from an apartment interior company that they had a fire. .
It was around 4:40 pm when Mr. Han heard the explosion.
It is said that after hearing a bang like a gunshot four times, he witnessed the increase in fire.
Han, sensing the danger, moved the ladder and tried to evacuate.
However, when I saw the gesture of a ransom request, I climbed the ladder and saved people because I thought saving people came first.
The 15th floor, where two elementary school students were rescued, was at a height that the ladder cart normally could not reach, but Mr. Han took the risk of damaging the equipment and removed the safety device to limit the height of the stairs.
We have saved three people, but let us listen to the voice of Mr. Han, who said he was very sorry for those who could not.
[한상훈 / 청년사다리차 대표 : 네 번 정도의 폭발 후에 불길이 갑자기 밖으로 엄청 빠져나오는 게 보여서 그 상황에서는 안전장치를 그냥 풀고 올린 거죠. 사다리에 무리가 가는 그런 건데 어떻게든 아이들 구해야 한다는 생각밖에 없어서. 위험해도 어쩌겠어요. 사람 목숨이 먼저죠.] [앵커]However, there are many people who have not yet been able to escape. Has the cause of the fire been investigated?
[기자]The fire was extinguished in about 30 minutes, but the casualties were significant.
There were 11 casualties, of which 4 died and 1 was seriously injured.
At that time, it was investigated that the apartment was under construction.
Two employees inside the company were found to have been hung from a terrace railing of a burning apartment and fell, and two apartment residents who had been evacuated to the rooftop died from suffocation on the landing just before the rooftop. .
The exact cause of the fire has yet to be identified.
Officials, including the police, who conducted the first joint examination at 8 p.m. yesterday, are conducting the second joint examination today around 10:30 a.m.
Police and fire departments plan to investigate the exact point and cause of the ignition through a detailed on-site inspection and then announce the results.
However, the police are paying attention to the fact that about 10 cans of urethane foam, solvent and electric stove containers were found at the scene of the fire.
Police believe there is a high possibility that the spattered flame from the electric stove transferred to flammable materials such as urethane foam and the fire started.
Urethane foam is mainly used as an indoor building material for insulation, and it burns easily and burns explosively.
In addition, when a fire is lit, a toxic gas is produced, which is noted as a factor that increases human damage.
Previously, it was investigated that a fire at the construction site of the Icheon distribution warehouse in Gyeonggi province, where 38 workers were killed and 10 injured in April, was also caused by a welding flame that splashed urethane foam on the finish of the ceiling.
So far, the Ministry of Social Affairs has handed it over.
