Second Joint Inspection Ceremony of the Ulsan Police Agency held on the 11th
The Ulsan Police Agency announced that it has started the second joint inspection from 11 a.m. on the day. The joint investigation team that participated in this day’s joint inspection consisted of a total of 22 people, including the Police Scientific Investigation Team, the Investigation and Criminal Team, the National Institute for Scientific Investigation, the Department of Ulsan Firefighters, the Electrical Safety Corporation and officials from the Gas Safety Corporation.
The joint investigation team initially attempted to conduct the second joint identification the day before, but due to the risk of objects falling inside the building, the identification was delayed one day to first install security facilities such as nets and fences.
On this day, the joint investigation team plans to check the first ignition point and traces of the flame spread to find the cause of the fire. In particular, it focuses on identifying whether the first fire was on the third or twelfth floor.
An official from the Ulsan Police Agency said: “Based on the testimony of residents, we plan to conduct identification primarily on the third floor, where there is a possibility of a fire for the first time, and on the 12th floor, where reported the first report to 119, “he said. .
The fire that occurred in the Art Nouveau residential-commercial apartment complex in Nam-gu, Ulsan at 11:14 pm on the 8th was completely extinguished around 2:50 pm on the 9th, after 3:40 pm minutes. The fire reports were first received on the 12th floor. Residents on the 12th floor of this apartment reported to 119: “I can see a flame from the outdoor air conditioning unit outside the apartment.”
However, it is currently unclear whether the first fire occurred on a balcony on the 12th floor or on a terrace on the third floor of this building. Some residents told police that “I saw the flames on the third floor.” There is also a trail of flames that spread out in a ‘V’ shape as you climb the stairs from the outer wall of the third floor terrace.
In this regard, Um Joon-wook, head of the Ulsan Fire Department, said in a briefing held on the 10th: “It is currently difficult to specify which was the first place of the fire. It is difficult to find a point because the structure can be seen from many angles. The cause of the fire must first be investigated. It is hoped that we can find out only after consensus is reached. ”
The Ulsan Police Agency also has 40 fire investigation teams separate from the identification team and is analyzing the cause of the fire. After the fire, the police received closed circuit television (CCTV) video data submissions from the administration offices. He also obtained video data installed in buildings near the apartment where the fire occurred. In addition, an investigation into witnesses and reporters is underway.
Meanwhile, the Ulsan Office of Education plans to provide urgent support to students who suffered damage from the fire at the Nam-gu residential-commercial apartment complex with learning materials, school uniforms and psychological treatment. There are 52 students living in the apartment, 5 kindergarten students, 20 elementary school students, 11 high school students, and 16 high school students. The Ulsan Office of Education also operates emergency care classes for kindergarten and elementary school students.
The apartment that caught fire this time is a residential-commercial apartment with a height of 113 meters with 2 basement levels and 33 floors above ground. In the fire that occurred three days ago, 93 people were injured, including inhalation of smoke. At the time of the fire, firefighters reported it to the scene within 5 minutes, and 77 people who had been evacuated on the rooftop and other evacuation floors were rescued. There were no deaths and most of the residents admitted to the hospital are now discharged.
