Earlier this morning, a fire broke out at a waste recycling plant in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi-do.
Two foreign factory workers died in a fire.
The evolution is still ongoing.
There is a reporter on the site. Reporter Hong Seong-wook!
The lights haven’t gone out yet?
[기자]So is. The burning hour is today at 3:55 am.
Since the time now passes at noon, the fire continues for 8 hours.
Like I said before, I caught all the big flames.
However, since this is a factory that recycles waste plastics and waste plastics, it is difficult to extinguish the waste plastics because they are on fire.
When I show you how strong the fire was at the time, the steel roof of the factory collapsed. I was tanned.
And only the skeleton was left naked.
Just by looking at this, you can guess how strong the fire was at the time.
As mentioned above, the fire is a factory that generates fuel by heating waste plastic and waste plastic.
It was confirmed that the amount of residual vinyl stored in this plant was about 100 tons, but it was confirmed that the fire started and had difficulty extinguishing.
The fire brigade continues to fight fires with 38 teams and 77 people, such as fire pumps and water tanks.
[앵커]You can tell that the situation was dire at the time just by looking behind reporter Hong right now.
[기자]So is. There was also an unfortunate casualty.
Two foreign workers who worked in this factory died.
Fire authorities estimate there are two Thai nationals and men in their 40s.
At that time, it was confirmed that all other employees left work and only two employees were left to do the heat monitoring work.
As mentioned above, the place where the fire burns is a factory that refines and produces pyrolysis oil, or fuel, by applying heat to vinyl and plastic waste.
The fire department said the fire is believed to have been caused by the explosion of the horizontal furnace at the factory. The exact cause of the fire is planned to be investigated by police and firefighters through a field investigation after all fires have been put out.
It is also a policy to check for any additional personal injury.
We will send the additional confirmed news later.
I am YTN Hong Seong-wook at the fire site in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi-do.
