A bottle of mineral water … Firefighter to cool off from the heat On the afternoon of the 9th, a firefighter who finished putting out the fire at the Samhwan Art Nouveau residential-commercial apartment complex in Nam-gu, Ulsan is cooling the heat by pouring bottled water over his head. Ulsan = NewsisFirefighters arrived at the scene 5 minutes after the first report of a major fire at the Samhwan Art Nouveau residential-commercial apartment complex in Ulsan. The fire department’s initial response was swift, but it took 15 hours and 30 minutes from the outbreak to extinguish at 2:50 p.m. the day after the fire was completely extinguished.
The fire department believes that the flammable adhesive that decorates the exterior walls of the apartments served as a lighter because the fire was put out and revived by a strong 15.8 km / h wind. Furthermore, there is not a single folding ladder car in Ulsan that can access the top floor of a 113m-high apartment on the 33rd floor, making it difficult for the skyscraper to evolve. It was practically impossible to extinguish a fire by mobilizing a helicopter or the like in a strong wind.
○ “The flammable adhesive on the exterior wall panel acts as a lighter”
The adhesive on the aluminum panels decorating the apartment’s exterior walls is believed to have caused the fire. The panel is fixed to the exterior wall of the building after joining the aluminum plates with chemical resins such as silicon. The opinion of the fire department is that aluminum itself is not heat resistant and that the outer wall attached with polyethylene board, etc., which is more vulnerable to fire, served as a lighter. In a briefing on the 9th, the head of life safety at Ulsan fire headquarters Im-House said: “The outer wall was made of an aluminum composite panel and it is very likely that it burned out quickly because It was finished with a generally used combustible adhesive. A fire department official said: “It is believed that adhesives and the like played a role like firewood and made the fire.” The building law was revised to make it possible. However, the Samhwan Art Nouveau residential-commercial apartment was completed in April 2009 and was excluded from the law.Police and others will investigate the exact location of the exterior walls and whether they comply with regulations.
○ No ladder car in Ulsan … Arrived 3 hours from Busan
It was a 33-story apartment with a height of 113 m, but it was also a problem that there was no car with a raised ladder. The Ulsan Fire Department mobilized a 52-meter ladder truck at the start of the fire, but only water could be sprayed on the middle floor of the building. I urgently requested the Busan Fire Headquarters to support me on a 72m elevated ladder, but it was about 5 am on the 9th, about 3 hours later. According to the Fire Department, there are only 10 high-rise ladder trucks over 70m that can be used to extinguish fires up to 23 stories high in buildings across the country. There are two units in Seoul, Gyeonggi and Incheon, and one in Busan, Daejeon, Sejong and Jeju.
As there was no raised ladder car, in the case of skyscrapers, firefighters had to extinguish the fire by entering each home. Furthermore, the fact that the fire occurred in the middle of the night when a strong wind was blowing and the fire fighting helicopter could not be deployed is one of the reasons that made rapid extinction impossible. The fire department raised a helicopter only around 6 a.m. on the 9th, the day after the fire.
○ Strong winds increase the fire again at dawn
“There is a strange smell and white smoke coming from the air conditioner on the roof of the house.”
The first fire report was filed at 119 on the 8th at 11:14 pm. A resident on the 12th floor contacted the apartment management office after reporting. The fire department reported it from the 12th floor, but the flash point is considered a “lower deck balcony.” As a result of reviewing the video obtained by the fire department itself, a scene where the fireworks started is said to have first emerged elsewhere.
The fire that was difficult to find the ignition point spread rapidly due to high winds. The fire that spread outside the building quickly crawled throughout the apartment building on the outer wall. At that time, the high wind warning was in effect in Ulsan from the morning of the 8th. A fire flew in this strong wind and the fire was lit on the roof of a large shopping center across the road in 10 trips of round trip.
Around 6 a.m. on the 9th, when an elevated ladder and a helicopter were brought in, some flames caught fire. For this reason, the damage was great on high floors, such as the windows on the exterior walls of the apartments on the 18th and 19th floors, etc.
